Microsoft is now in the process of turning off Manifest V2-based extensions in Edge, such as uBlock Origin. However, not everything is lost at this point.

    You can actually sell a GPLed binary and any client would have to ask for the source. Boom, selling the source!

    It’s independent on the organization and the other stuff.

      You don’t have to be a client 😉 And of you have to request the source, that’s already against the license, I believe. That’s how lawsuits start(ed).

        You can be a third party but it’s confusing. What I’m sure is that you don’t have to put the source code, i.e. people may have to ask for the source, like https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.en.html#WhatDoesWrittenOfferValid

          I didn’t know that. Thank you. Learned something new today!

          What a complicated licence.

          Anti Commercial-AI license
