I’m rebuilding an app that I made few years ago to make it open-source and free from big company dependencies (for example replacing Firebase with Appwrite)… Now, since it’s already live on Codeberg, I think it would be good to give it a license but I’m super new to FOSS licenses and so I don’t know how to move… Which one would you suggest me?

    It’s incorrect to call BSD/MIT “not political”. It allows proprietization and does not protect users and authors from tivoization, patents and trademarks.

      I didnt write that “BSD/MIT is not political” as i agree with your statement. I said “if you think that code is not political”, as it is a statement you often hear from ppl who don’t want to think too much about license (or about anything else but code). I was describing a symptom, a state of mind (that make ppl opt for BSD and other “exploitative-free” licenses).
