> I like AGPL because it increases the odds of improvements coming back to the upstream project, something into which I invest a lot of personal time.
A note: MPLv2 (HashiCorp's license of choice) also achieves that just as nicely if improvements not getting back into upstream is a concern. xGPLv3 is of course better at it, but through its virality (not a bad thing but something tech cos are averse to it).
Besides, as mentioned above, Zerodha needs to be careful with its use of listmonk. They are at risk of violation of AGPLv3 themselves if they are not careful, ie violation of the rights of all contributors to listmonk, and not just that of the original author. IANAL.
