Open Source@lemmy.ml•Closed‑source vs source‑available vs open‑source — which model makes the most sense for small tools?
0·2 days agoThanks for the perspective — I’ll take it into consideration. I still need to learn more about licensing and monetization models anyway.

0·2 days agoFor this project I’m mainly testing distribution models. My only restriction is redistribution — people can read and modify the code for personal use. I’m also cautious about someone copying or commercializing it, so this is mostly a learning exercise for me.

0·2 days agoMy main restriction is redistribution — people can read and modify the code for personal use. Since the default with no license is already “all rights reserved”, this project is mostly a test for me. I’m also cautious about someone copying or commercializing it, so I’m treating this as a learning exercise about licensing and distribution.

I’m not trying to prove which license is better — too many variables, like you said. I’m just testing how different models change user behavior: who clicks, who downloads, who ignores. It’s more about distribution patterns than software quality.
