Anti-fascistic software is made possible by pro-labor licensing.

I've been trying to write this piece for years. Every time I get started I'm just overwhelmed with paralyzing visions of the FOSS commentariat accusing me of WrongThink, more so here on the fediverse than anywhere else.

But I'm scared and tired and we urgently need to get our shit together.

I can see how in the short term companies like NextCloud would be hindered using a non-commercial license, but in the long term I think non-commercial licenses might be the way to go for some things, if we want to encourage society to publicly fund some software development for crucial infrastructure.
