Signal fills an incredibly important spot in a spectrum of privacy and usability where it’s extremely usable without sacrificing very much privacy. Sure, to the most concerned privacy enthusits it’s not the best, but it’s a hell of a lot easier to convince friends and family to use Signal than something like Matrix.

I don’t know.

I hate this mentality. I know plenty of ADHD folks for whom this isn’t true. I see this repeated often. If you’re able to respond well in a crisis, how do you know it’s because of your ADHD? I see no reason to think that it’s because of a disability. It just bothers me when people make my very real and very debilitating disability sound like something fun and quirky.

1. AGPL. Strictest. You want a strict license. Don’t let people take advantage of you. I see no good reason to pick GPL when AGPL exists.
2. LGPL. If you want people to be able to use it (but not modify it) without their code having to be FLOSS as well. Still quite strict relatively with everything below.
3. Apache. Permissive license. If you really want a permissive license, this is the one to go for.
4. MIT. Permissive but less explicit. Okay for super short code.

Avoid at all costs CC0. CC0 explicitly does not give patent rights. MIT implicitly does.
