09:37 <manuels> how should I license my project if I want to make it free for linux but sell it on win and mac?

09:37 <manuels> In the end I want to permit everything besides distribution with an exception for standard linux distros

09:39 <pq> I have no idea, but I believe such a license would not be approved as "open source" license by OSI.

09:40 <ishitatsuyuki> and most distros have barriers to distribute nonfree content

09:45 <emersion> you can use a FOSS license, and then make people pay for the the windows/mac binaries

09:47 <emersion> this talk is relevant https://fosstodon.org/@drewdevault/109460978059771364

10:27 <DavidHeidelberg[m]> emersion: my exact thougt, on Windows, MacOS/iOS and Android people usually don't want to compile or use stuff compiled from someone else :D

20:23 <manuels> ishitatsuyukii don't really care. I encountered to much bigot ideolohmgism

20:23 <manuels> Emersion then anybody could just copy it

20:23 <emersion> yes

20:24 <emersion> and that's not necessarily a big deal

20:24 <emersion> example prior art: elementary OS

20:24 <manuels> Well that's another magnitude

20:24 <manuels> It's a single app

20:25 <emersion> users can be (rightfully) wary of downloading binaries from third-parties

20:25 <emersion> instead preferring to pay to get it from the official source

20:46 <eric_engestrom> I just remembered https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa-releases, I think it can be deleted now as we ended up not taking that route

20:47 <DragoonAethis> manuels: Case study: https://www.aseprite.org/

20:48 <DragoonAethis> Sources available and people can contribute, but you need to buy it to get any binaries

20:48 <DragoonAethis> Not packaged anywhere though (that's what they intended as well)
