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.
All of that would equally apply to the use of GPL code, which corporations absolutely do take very seriously.
I won’t pretend the legal system is exactly fair or that money doesn’t matter, but if the facts are blatantly on your side, as they would be in this case, there’s more than enough funding from groups like the EFF to win it.
