    Why the but? GPL 3 is the correct license to use for open source projects to ensure they stay open and corps don’t freeload on them.

      English isn’t my first language. I share your opinion regarding the license. Which connector would you use instead of “but” to indicate that you succeeded in your efforts even though it was harder you thought it would be?

        English is my only language, and yours looks fine to me. I thought it was pretty clear from the first comment that the “but” indicated success despite difficulties, and as you clarified that’s exactly what you meant.

          Why not having a L2 maybe a L3? People from the US should feel like they’re missing out in our modern world!

          Looks like you’ve got the upvotes backing you. I’ll keep on using as is. Thank you!

        Ah gotcha, you could just omit but in this case and the sentence would have the intended meaning.

        “and”

        If you study non violent communication, folks will say to avoid using “I agree with you, but”. Because as soon as you say " but ", people get defensive and stop listening to you.

        Whenever possible, replace “but” with “and” if the sentence still has the same meaning

          This was not a case of “I agree with you, but, though. “But” is perfectly appropriate here to contrast between the first statement and the second.

          @delirious_owl @acockworkorange

          “I agree with you BUT you are being an a–hole.

          “I agree with you AND you are being an a–hole.

          Hmm. 🤔

          Yeah. It also makes it sound way more impactful and true. Thank you! 😁

      AGPL would have been a bit better, especially for the server side

        This does not apply to the server. Only the client app is open source. The server is proprietary.
