@biosmarcel agreed

What kind of mentality leads to a healthy and productive community of collaborating open source projects?

(1) We wrote a protocol that allows both parties to choose what suits their design goals best. This allows for maximum compatibility between all of our projects. It was hard work getting it standardized, but we put in the time for the benefit of the community.

(2) PSA: IF YOU DON'T SUPPORT CLIENT-SIDE DECORATIONS, YOU'RE WRONG

To a ham radio operator who also participates in the Fediverse, the difference between "hhhh" and "hihi" is a small yet terribly critical one. 😏

The main problem with choosing a free software license is that they're a giant pile of legalese rather than a succient explanation of their goals.

MIT, BSD: Do whatever you want with this software, but it's not our responsibility (baseline)

Apache: Same but with extra protections for your trademarks/brand

GPL: Requires derivative software and software to also use the GPL license

LGPL: Requires derivatives to also use the LGPL license, but doesn't consider linking to a library to be a derivative

AGPL: Requires derivatives to also use the AGPL license, but considers communication over the network to be derivative

Another nice example of this is the (libre!) game Meteorite, which is similar to Metroid Prime but at a very low resolution https://github.com/Bauxitedev/meteorite
