    Hot take: Since it’s a BSD licensed browser at some point in the future, there’s going to be a company that funds it brings it to mainstream with their flavor, and then will over throw chromium in time. Replace an ‘evil’ with another ‘evil’.

      All hail the cuck license, ensuring we end up back at the same place every single time.

      Good intentions and all that

        Ladybird is licences under BSD-clause 2. Which allows privatization of the code.

        IMO a web browser should be GPLv3, specially to not allow DRM bullshit in the browser.

          AGPL, to prevent streaming (while not sharing the code).

            Yeah AGPLv3 is the best if it’s going to be hosted as a service. Which a lot of web services do. Good point.

              …to be fair browsers don’t really make sense for streaming, but you could call it “future proofing”.

      Yeah not a good licence at all for an independent browser. Idk if Servo MPL is a good license either. Do you know of any web browser that is GPL?

      Luckily Gecko still exists. And who knows, maybe Servo will make it one day (but the odds are stacked against both them and Ladybird anyway).
