I.E. a way to legally enforce that servers which federate with you are not allowed to serve ads alongside content from your server, and must be run by not-for-profit entities?

I’m curious about some sort of strategy that blocks Meta from extracting money from the content creators in the current fediverse by using legal licensing of some sort, similar to how the GPL software license requires any derivative software to be open source.

    @zalack @FreeBooteR69 google never “depended” on Android in any real sense. It was developed by a for profit entity that was bought by Google while it was still in its infancy and has always been wholly owned by Google since - the source code is open, but it wasn’t a community project that Google EEE’d, it was a privately owned project that they’ve made all the investment in and done all the work on, except the apps themselves which they assert little to no control over. The same company literally EEE’d a chat protocol with Google Talk so this was just a really oddball example to pick.
