    I think ActivityPub’s license should prohibit financially profiting from the platform.

    EDIT: I mean “should be changed to”

          Really? So Linus Torvalds could make Linux proprietary all the sudden? I’m skeptical. And it’s going to vary by jurisdiction too.

            Well yeah he could, but he can’t retroactively apply that license change, so the Linux foundation would just keep rolling on with their own fork.

              Even if you’re right, wouldn’t the same thing apply to the implementation in Threads?

                I was talking about Linux specifically because it’s under the GPL license. Threads isn’t open source at all afaik, so it doesn’t really apply

                  The implementation of ActivityPub in Threads, I mean.
