Quilibrium

I expect this to get a little bit of controversy so I wanted to start the discussion now:

Quilibrium’s codebase needs a license. We want to choose one that prevents Amazon grift — AWS should not be allowed to deploy an alt net either as a service or to power their own infra, but they are free to join the mainnet.

wdym ?! I was hoping to make QuilCash, LiteQuil AND QuilDoge 🐶 
...all at the same time

some POV  :
- nice to be able to contribute on a tool that has no restrictions
-  base  protocol vs apps on top may have different licences
- a lot of infra may really benefit from the base protocol (other than aws)

The ultimate goal is to replace AWS and similar. If AWS can simply migrate their own infra to it with a private coin, the battle is lost. The license of the protocol should be independent of the license of the applications built on top of it.

Core components are already licensed differently, some more restrictive than others, but inheriting from the libraries on which it depends. At a minimum, the license for Quilibrium itself must be GPL, because it depends on GPL’d code.

Realistically, what I’m looking for is a “fuck you, Amazon” version of the GPL spirit
