Hello all,

For a few days now I have been reading about the shiny new opencloud alternative to nextcloud. Has anyone tried to migrate from nextcloud to opencloud?

I have not found a guide about how to move the files from one to the other. I want to try it out and if I like it enough, move. But how does one do that?

AGPL is a strong copyleft license that prevents corporate takeover of the project, and Apache is a fully permissive license that does not. They could hardly be more different

I'm not sure it's that important. Plenty of projects have good licenses. Like strapi is mit.

Only they don't gonna accept any of your contributions anyways. Try changing something they don't like they not gonna accept it.

So there is no corporate takeover, but only on the paper. No sure u are free to fork and work on the fork. For free. Good luck with that
