Short version of this interview is that nothing is changing, other than they’re going to be asking a flat fee “$5-20” for the app, rather than relying on donations. All donation platforms have been closed. However, if you choose not to, as Louis says “that’s between you and your God”.
Project will remain AGPL and thus can be forked at any time. FUTO maintains the trademark of Immich name and logos.

Yeah I dunno. I sent them $50 as soon as I came across this amazing software.
I think FUTO is trying to make FOSS sustainable by unmistakably asking for money. I’m not sure how much more effective that will be than just asking for donations externally…

Germany has a fund like that, GNOME just recently got a grant of about 1M Euros to improve features and provide better accessibility
grayjay is not foss
The only thing I can see in their License that would make it non-free is the non-commercial redistribution part of it, which is not that bad
Which might be there to prevent legal troubles from YouTube.
it is. It prevents people from forking it an making their own versions and then distrubuting it. That is not foss,just source availible.
It doesn’t though? IANAL but as far as I can tell you can fork, modify and redistribute it as long as you provide the source code to your users.
It’s AGPL-3.0 so… https://www.tldrlegal.com/license/gnu-affero-general-public-license-v3-agpl-3-0
That guy was talking about grayjay, a Client to follow creators on multiple platforms at the same time. Grayjay isn’t licensed under AGPL, but instead it uses the FUTO Temporary License. It technically still counts as source available, but I think the NC-Part is okay to have. AGPL would be nicer though especially bc of this.
