jeffalo:

open source is a complicated topic, here are my concerns

- i don't want to have my website be stolen or something :(

- i don't want wasteof to become decentralized with different instances and stuff, i feel like it would confuse users. there should only be one wasteof.money.

- i think open source is great for software (i wouldn't trust a program i have to install unless it's open source), but for a website like this i feel it's better to protect the code.

let me know what you think, i'm open to discussion on this.

misapuding:

Maybe register the trademark so that other instances won’t be able to have the name wasteof.money ? Also just use a licence which won’t permit copying the code without the licence and credits (maybe MIT, but honestly I don’t know all this licence stuff lol)
