Because the #GPL #License text is added to the top and the #CommonsClause is added afterwards #github considers the project #GPLv3 software.
I’m amazed GitHub doesn’t have better licensing monitoring tools. This makes automated license tracking pretty iffy in my book.
The #CommonsClause pollutes the #FOSS #commons. It creates new hazards for software users to navigate.
It's /especially/ confusing when nonsensically combined with a #GPL family license like #AGPLv3.
#FreeSoftware #OpenSource

One that comes to mind is FOSSA. They're a venture capital backed startup that offers "Audit-Grade Open Source Dependency Protection".
They also are the originators of the "#CommonsClause" #OpenSource license rider that adds confusing restrictions that make software no longer Open Source.

Eww, #WorkAdventure is licensed under #CommonsClause (put on top of AGPL), which makes it non-free software in total. https://github.com/thecodingmachine/workadventure/issues/523
That really is unfortunate.
We need to talk licenses. Recently discovered #commonsclause through the #n8n project (big fan). I'm quite ideological but I really dig the pragmatism behind this license. The code is still #opensource, accessible and extendible. That's what I want from a product I need to trust. If the owner wants my contributions but doesn't want me making money from it… I understand that! Yet I read a lot of criticism about this license.
What am I not seeing?
Like #FairSource, and the #CommonsClause, #LicenseZero is yet another attempt at mususing the term #OpenSource to describe the software license equivalent of the #NoCommercialUse licenses in the #CreativeCommons suite:

@djsumdog true, there is the #CommonsClause, and the use of the #PeerProductionLicense on software, both of which are motivated by similar concerns to the NC license, but I would argue they have very different implications (I know
@wolftune disagrees with that, but there you go)
