@joplinapp @logseq @obsidian Thank you for taking the time to reply here.
@joplinapp @logseq @obsidian Hi, to address your points:
- You mention if the license ever needs to be changed - what circumstances would warrant a license change, in your opinion? I would generally expect the license not to change
- In cases of both Apache and Signal the CLA one signs signs off the contribution to the respective foundations, not an LTD as is case with Joplin
- MIT (or other permissive licenses) re-licensing can be protected by a DCO https://developercertificate.org , (under point 4)
Hm, (https://lemmy.ml/c/logseq) requires a contributors license agreement (CLA (https://mastodon.social/tags/cla) ) to sign over all contributor's code to the company, so does the [@jop

@obsidian is closed-source, wants $50/yr for a commercial license, paired with their $10/mo for sync - that's a lot of dollars for note taking.
Alternatives, anyone? Ideally open source to which I can contribute financially, without a CLA that will inevitably mean a change in licensing.
