This is an opportunity for any users, server admins, or interested third parties to ask anything they’d like to @nutomic@lemmy.ml and I about Lemmy. This includes its development and future, as well as wider issues relevant to the social media landscape today.

Thoughts on a GPL4?
Many examples indicate an even stronger license is needed, I will list a few
The current RedHat debacle
MuseScore’s closed source Musehub (after being acquired by Ultimatw Guitar)
Google commiting copyright infringement by combining free (as in freedom) software with code under Apache license for Android
We clearly need a stronger, more all encompassing license.
I’m not too familiar with it, but I’m always open to moving to stronger copyleft-licenses, if the AGPLv3 is proving inadequate.
theres no gpl4 yet the idea has been floated around
does lemmy have a CLA to make changing licenses less of a headache? or did is project AGPLv3-or-later?
I’m no legal expert, so I don’t know what updating the license entails, and why you wouldn’t as the creator be able to change the license freely as you see fit.
Really? Well that sucks.
