TIL; for people like me who just found out:

gamevau.lt/blog/2023/07/13

For a self-hosted app like GameVault, we believe it’s crucual to disclose the source code. We want you, our users, to have full transparency and control [?] over the software you use on your servers.

our desire to protect our code from unauthorized use and commercial exploitation. While we absolutely encourage you to copy, modify, and share our code for personal use […] we want to prevent others from profiting off our hard work by selling our software without our consent.

As a small business with just two members, we strive to provide you with a valuable product but cannot continue to do so as volunteers indefinitely.

(I’m a AGPL kind of guy, but) btw at least there are licenses specifically for software:

www.mongodb.com/…/server-side-public-license

…stackexchange.com/…/allowed-uses-of-a-software-l…

Copyright and the CC-BY-NC license do not regulate mere use, such as executing a program.

Ok proprably we’re at least allowed to run it (That’s not a given, e.g. iirc if someone publishes their code on github without a license, it doesn’t mean that people can fully and legally use it, except for what some Github ToS clause defines that you agreed to)

I was interested in checking it out for personal use; anyone has any experience with alternatives? (I can look them up, I’m just curious about peoples’ recommendations)
