The paid option would require a CLA, wouldn’t it?

I agree that it’s better than the “open core” model because it limits by time rather than space, as they say, but it kinda misses the point of open-source software. The conflict of interest is that they effectively want to be the only ones who can profit off the software, while still benefiting from the free work of others, but commercial-use is within the open-source definition.

My real issue is that it seems like they’re trying to spin it as a kind of “open-source”, but it’s not. If they were more up-front about that, I probably wouldn’t care as much.

Also saying that it’s less restrictive than copyleft is just outright false.

free-riding

If you’re gonna have that kind of attitude, then you don’t really care about user freedom.

I was going to do the unbranded build option but from what I could find, unbranded builds don’t get updates.

For something as important as your web browser, that’s a pretty good reason to me.

I use Nvidia’s proprietary driver because the open-source Nouveau driver won’t work with my display. Will this update break the driver, or just make it slower?

I’d love to stop using Nvidia, but I don’t have much choice about using their proprietary driver until I get my next video card, or Nouveau starts working for me.

after 90 days, they just send the BAT back to you. They don’t keep it.
