Source First License 1.1: https://gitlab.futo.org/videostreaming/grayjay/-/blob/master/LICENSE.md

This is a non-open source license. They were claiming to be open source at one point, but they’ve listened to the community and stopped claiming they were open source. They are not trying to be Open Source™.

They call themselves “source first”. https://sourcefirst.com/

They’re trying to create a world where developers can make money from writing source first software, where the big tech oligarchy can’t just suck them dry.

    i will never understand what people hope to accomplish with these licenses, when even the fucking GPL isn’t particularly reliable.

    a license is only useful if it can actually be enforced and people are willing to interact with it, if a license isn’t robustly worded and thought out or it’s simply not backed by a trusted group, it’s basically entirely pointless.

    I maintain that the GPL is the best license purely because it has the FSF behind it and it has been used since time immemorial, it’s one of few open source licenses that has seen repeated stress testing in courts and stood up to it.
