  • We fund the project entirely from sales of the Confluence integration.

    Just to extend the conversation, the change implements one thing, it protects our revenue in the atlassian ecosystem.

    What it does it protect the future development of the project by protecting the revenue. That’s more useful to you than the license being fully open source.

    The primary losers of this change is anyone wanting to integrate draw.io into the Atlassian ecosystem.

    I mean this does seem kind of fair. I’m not familiar with Confluence and Atlassian but it seems something mostly aimed at corporations, I’m not sure of how common it’s use is and how much is affected by this though.

    I’m okay with something being 98% open source so they can survive on the extra 2%. And I much rather specific non competes for certain platforms then broad non-commercial clauses.





  • Isn’t the problem that it’s only a one way street? And their users vastly outnumber ours?

    So you end up in a situation where you give them content and engagement but receive nothing back, since their users can’t see our content. Even worst, our own users are more likely to post on their infrastructure because of the higher count, so the servers federated with them just end up being ghost servers to hold users.

    You end up being at their whim because what you had before died.





  • This is what I was trying to get off too. A few years later, I found out the art channel would sometimes play dirty movies on Saturday late at night but they usually involved incest(?). Then I switched to music channels when they started showing provocative music video so that was nice. I had one of those little tvs with the vcr integrated. Good times.







  • They own our politicians so our options are actually very limited. I won’t be pulling the trigger but there’s little doubt in my mind that they will not stop until we kill them.

    Their actions will bring about the death of millions and a collapse of our ecosystem, so it’s not as simple as saying every life is sacred no matter what that person choses to do with it. Would you go back in time to kill Hitler, because future generations will be asking themselves the same question about oil execs.
