The NOFX core team has reached a consensus to upgrade the open-source license of this repository from MIT to AGPL (Affero General Public License).
NOFX remains committed to the core principles of open-source development. We believe that AGPL is a superior open-source license, offering more comprehensive protection.
This change stems from our observation that unscrupulous actors are exploiting the permissiveness of the MIT license to create phishing websites using our repository's code. To curb such malicious activity, protect the interests of our community users, and effectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of all open-source contributors, we believe AGPL will provide stronger legal safeguards.
NOFX 开源仓库许可证升级为 AGPL
NOFX core 团队已达成共识,决定将本仓库的开源许可证从 MIT 升级至 AGPL (Affero General Public License)。
NOFX 将始终坚持开源开发的核心原则。 我们认为,AGPL 是一个更高层级 (higher level) 的开源许可证,它能提供更周全的保护。
此项变更是因为我们注意到,有不良商家利用 MIT 许可证的宽松性,使用我们的仓库代码制作钓鱼网站。为了遏制此类恶意行为,保护广大社区用户的利益,并切实维护所有开源贡献者的合法权益,我们相信 AGPL 将提供更强有力的法律保障。
