Hm, @logseq requires a contributors license agreement (CLA #cla ) to sign over all contributor’s code to the company, so does the @joplinapp, with @joplinapp also having the server component source-available.
@obsidian is closed-source, wants $50/yr for a commercial license, paired with their $10/mo for sync - that’s a lot of dollars for note taking.
Alternatives, anyone? Ideally open source to which I can contribute financially, without a CLA that will inevitably mean a change in licensing.
@fourstepper @logseq @obsidian That would be a good question for big open source projects who may have lawyers to advise them. For Joplin, this was mostly my decision and done “just in case”. AGPL is suitable but not perfect - if a better license comes up later on, then we can switch to it. With a CLA we can do this, without it we’re stuck with the same license pretty much permanently.
@joplinapp @logseq @obsidian Thank you for taking the time to reply here.
