I found two apps that seem to be violating the AGPL license. They both use the AGPL-licensed lemmy-js-client library, which means the apps themselves should also use the same license (which is the whole purpose of Copyleft). But they aren’t. I don’t know if Lemmy developers and contributors are aware of this.
The apps:
https://github.com/ando818/lemmy-ui-svelte - Apache license
https://github.com/aeharding/wefwef - MIT license
What should we do about this as a community? I informed one of the app’s developers about this and it doesn’t seem like they care. I wonder if some of the proprietary apps that are being developed right now also rely on this library.
I mean if you really wanted to enforce it, anyone who contributed to Lemmy-js-client can submit a DMCA takedown. But that would be beyond silly, since most people are just trying to build cool things and don’t want to enter a licensing drama.
Best course of action is to point out the license error and let downstream figure it out.
