@[email protected] @[email protected] I was just curious. If a project is started as opensource and we have bunch of community members contribute to the project, either to the code or financially. What happens to the community contributions when that project decides that it is no longer going to be opensource?

Are there no license restrictions against this practice as the contributors were led to believe that they are contributing to an opensource project.

Can they close source community contributions?

Quick comment about posting to lemmy: the first line (when followed by a blank line) is taken as the title of the post, so things work much better if you put your tags at the end or in the body and, if you can, write a first line that can work as some sort of title. With this post, we’ve got the tags and their URLs in the title.

@maegul Thanks for the heads up. I cross posted from mastodon and still trying to figure out how this all works. Appreciate the input.

No worries!

If it helps, I made a little demo as a guide for cross posting from masto (there’s a thread there too with a link to the lemmy post created): https://hachyderm.io/@maegul/110483509521476095
