Clarification on project's license and open source state · standardnotes/forum · Discussion #3196

Hello 👋, Just came across this project, and saw the app being advertised as open source, like on this page where it's advertised as "100% open source". Looking at the app repo though, the licensing...

Update for the post two weeks ago: https://lemmy.ml/post/5814564

They’ve reverted the attempted license change and made it crystal clear that the entire project is under the AGPL now.

    These decisions are made by me and me alone

    They’re really not though? You can’t just switch off AGPL without explicit permission of every person who’s contributions to the project are being relicensed.

    I don’t get this company or its products. The statement the CEO made about not having people steal their work was downright hostile to open source principles.

    Their product is so clunky and locked down. I cant see why anyone would use this when here are great, real FOSS solutions avaliable.

      Yes you can fully self-host this but you still need to pay for it, although a lot less.

        What’s the price? They don’t provide that info without proving more details…

            True story. If the company is a consulting company they’ll sugar coat price omission as “we have to evaluate your needs in order to sell you the right product”. :D

          I’m not sure, can’t find it anymore either… and last time i looked I also looked for a while. If it helps they also have a 30% student discount.

        That’s a great solution but totally overkill for my needs and I don’t get what’s their thing with having OnlyOffice Spreadsheets but not the rest. There’s a blog article saying they’ve integrated it all but the official instance doesn’t have Documents. For what’s worth FileBrowser will be way simpler to setup and use than Cryptpad for most people once they merge the OnlyOffice integration. https://github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser/pull/1420

        For now I’ll stick with Joplin but the mobile App is a disaster.

    Regardless, i could not get on with SN. Have found Joplin and Notesnook both to be superior.
