Well, I wouldn’t go that far. Let’s not forget Nextcloud started as a fork for the same reason. The permissive license doesn’t stop us from keeping it alive, but it is something to be cautious of.
Comment on opencloud - I migrated from nextcloud. Screenshots and docker-compose-compose.yml included
grue@lemmy.world 2 days agoThe weaker (permissive instead of copyleft) license alone is a reason to be suspicious of both the project and OP. At this point, it’s just telegraphing plans to eventually go proprietary and enshittify.

and I would have gotten away with it if it wasnt for you meddling kids.
NO - but seriously completely gratuitous from my end. I’m fed up with nextcloud.
as to licensing - yeah I didnt even look at it, opencloud was forked from owncloud I figured it is something consistent. I like they use matrix for their chat.
as to enshittification - that is something nobody can predict but I have seen GPL3 went private many times: directus.io/…/changing-our-license-one-year-later or mongo I think was agpl3.
tbh yes - licensing is not something I looked into strongly.
