Replied to a post on twitter.com :

Hmm, maybe mimic Ethereum?

https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/Licensing

- Reusable libraries/components MIT or Apache?
- Resonate-specific frontends/backends, AGPL? (like Mastodon?)

Note: AGPL would restrict participation by corp contributors (like myself)

@mattl wdyt?

If there’s a network component consider how much you’re concerned by SaaS and choose AGPLv3 or later. If not , GPLv3 or later.

For everything else Apache 2 License or CC0 deed.

Hey Paul, why does AGPL prevent someone like you from contributing?

Resonate, Feb 18 2019 on twitter.com

Google and other companies restrict their employees from contributing to AGPL code.

I suggest giving some thought to negative/positive liberty., covered in "Decoding Liberation: the promise of free/open source sw"
