Make sure to AGPL it so you can still relicense and sell it later to someone (or more than one someone) who thinks they can make money with it.


I'm afraid that AGPL is not an actual open-source launch test. As a developer, I wouldn't contribute to such a product.


AGPL is the strongest open source there is; it makes sure all derivatives of the licensed product that are publicly accessible, even over the net, provide the core freedoms of open source to all users (reading source and modifying it, using it for any purpose).


Then this isn't for you. Don't open source your thing.


What do you mean?
