  • Google could have done that from the spec though. Google is doing that with chromium despite the source being entirely available

    even agpl wouldn’t protect this tool in most cases if a company didn’t want to contribute back, since it’s probably just used in server side scripts and such. also companies aren’t required to upstream stuff, just make source available, which means hard to discover ftp site with a pile of code.

    sure something more copyleft is better for large, more commercial projects, but this in particular probably gets more patches from the extra use in the rust community from MIT than they would forcing companies to open source changes




  • it’d make more sense to have a translation layer on top that generates configs for everything from a consistent language. you’re never going to get buyin from enough projects to do it directly.

    my system is entirely generated from nix files, 0 handwritten config files. it’s json like if you squint, supports comments, but has functions and can be extended to whatever files you need to generate.

    I do think there’s alternatives in the area, but I don’t think any of them are as complete

    for reference, I’ve commonly seen this as backend for frontend (bff) in architecture discussions
