The OSI and DFSG are both fine with the AGPL too, so it's hard to take that claim seriously, especially as a bare assertion with zero evidence.



AGPL: If you want to host it you have to pay.

SSPL: If you want to host it you have to pay.

BUSL: If you want to host it you have to pay.

Yet one is OSI-approved and the others aren't.


More like:

AGPL: If you want to host it, go ahead. If you want to host a modified version of it, provide source.

SSPL: If you want to host it, release your entire stack under the SSPL first. Good luck with that, lol.

BUSL: If you want to host it, you better not be making any money from it.
