When Immich originally joined FUTO two years ago, the news was received with a healthy level of skepticism. Who was FUTO? Why did they want to "acquire" Immich? Did this mean the beginning of the end for the product? Well, it's been almost two years now and we thought it would be fun to have a little retrospective on how things have played out since then.

"Look how much FUTO didn't fuck up" is a weird blog post to write... But the important thing is still true, Immich is still AGPL.

Nah, "look how much new owning company didn't fuck up" is actual news these days. Its good to know that they've been doing well since the aquisition.

only because it'd be hard to get away from the AGPL. FUTO's other licenses are weird for no apparent reason. They make a pretty nice android keyboard, but the license sucks, so I don't use it.

[–] SpatchyIsOnline@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Isn't the license for the keyboard basically just a source-available non-commercial use license?

I mean sure, completely open source would be better, but I can definitely understand why they don't want some big tech company just taking their work and monetizing it

Yes: https://github.com/futo-org/android-keyboard?tab=License-1-ov-file

But that is still less good than proper Free Software.
