Hi FSF and OSI,
Please forgive my layman's understanding of software licenses as I'm not a lawyer.
I'm a software engineer with an entrepreneurial streak.
I've just discovered SSPL as a possible copyleft license that I understand might be a stronger form of copyleft than the AGPL provides, guaranteeing that not only the software itself, but also the software providing the package's services to the public are also guaranteed to be free and open source. In this case, that's a lot of new user freedoms to run the SaaS locally on personal machines at any point in the future with new updated versions available.
I am curious what the OSI and FSF think of the SSPL. Does it obey the FSD? Specifically, does it obey rules #6 and #9 of the FSD?
I am super excited about the SSPL possibly being a stronger copyleft license than the world has yet seen, but that's my inexperience talking probably.
Any pointers you have for better understanding would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Bo Morgan
