Maybe time for a custom license that would require M$ to sign up for special T&Cs if they want to use this software?

Who cares if it's OSI-approved or not, a line saying "M$, Google, and the like need written permission for every use case" would help to make those leeches honest. Just learn from the JSLint example.

This license modifier already exists for others to use (I can't post the direct links here because this site will sanction me for doing so)

plus n-word dot com hosts information about the plus n-word license which purports:

- The software will not be used or hosted by western corporations that promote censorship

- The software will not be used or hosted by compromised individuals that promote censorship

- Users of the software will be immune to attacks that would result in censorship of others

		It's even GPL compatible, because the GPL makes provision for additional notice requirements. That would be both hilarious and horrifying if the only thing stopping the corporate dystopia is that Microsoft doesn't want to say the N word.

We literally just did this. Now we have Valkey. Nobody won.

		Did anyone lose? Valkey is better because all of the new development work happens on Valkey, not because of the license. If the actual developer changed the license, that would be a different situation.
