First of all, to anyone downvoting my Comments about /e/ being a piece of shit, because…

  • they advertise themselves as degoogled, but instead let you connect to Google/Microsoft/etc services

  • replace all the propriatery not at all Secure Services from Google, with… Drumroll please… Propriatery and not at all Secure Services from themselves and actively encourage it.

  • They are For-profit

  • and being MORE out of date then even Fairphones stock roms.

… I told you so. Dm your Instance admin, pay them to send the DB entries of your Downvotes on a Thumb drive (or anything else from SSD to 3.5 inchHDD, depending on your preferences), and shove it up your rectum.

But a TL;DR:

/E/ is not Private. They just switch one bad comany to another one.

    I think that is the cause. Overall, the license doesn’t define what “commercial use” is, apart from the listed examples, which overall seem to avoid any sort of publishing cases, which makes forking even more risky. Sure, when you make money off it directly, that’s commercial, but does making money indirectly off it count as well? What about using your own fork of it for gaining goodwill and using it for PR, is that commercial use?

    Generally creating a license is hard, as vauge terminology can scare off users from actually forking it due to the license being a liability or can render your license null and void if you’re not careful enough. That’s why it’s generally recommended to just use an existing licence model instead of trying to come up with your own.
