AGPL is GPL + network services protection (preventing someone taking your code and spinning up a for-profit selling services without contribution back). If you don't care about people stealing your code, closing it, and selling services based on it, then there is no need to consider strict copyleft licenses.
Okay, thank you very much. As for now, I hope my engine will be known enough for anyone to recognise the hoax.
Do you know that Apple's macOS is historically a FreeBSD fork? (They have copied big parts.)
I find it notable that FreeBSD is struggling to stay alive, and Apple's 1000000000000s of dollars in incomes does not help them at all.
Huh, lol. No, I didn't know that. One of my friends uses FreeBSD, and he likes it. But yeah, that's a good point.
