How will HackMD Enterprise Edition (EE) will be created from an AGPL licensed codebase? With community contributions being made under the AGPLv3 license, the EE derivative will only be allowed to incorporate changes made in the FLOSS project if the EE is itself released under an AGPLv3+ license. The intent of the AGPL is to force SaaS hosting providers to release their enhancements to FLOSS projects and prevent open-core derivatives. Is the intent of the https://hackmd.io/ organization to permanently fork their EE version prior to the AGPL license conversion and abandon future FLOSS community contributions?

@bd808 Thanks for the question!
Yes, EE would be (is already) forked from CE before the license change. We will not directly merge/integrate the community contribution to CE going forward, so contributors to CE won't have to worry about your works being taken by us for free and we won't have to worry about some other parties taking the great work of the community to compete with us on commercialization. Which also means, we as a developer team would have to stay ahead of (or at least keep up with) the creativity and productivity of the community. Hopefully we can manage that challenge!
If we cannot keep up with the community, that means CE has become a great tool in itself by then! Then we would celebrate the success of the community and pride ourselves in initiating the project and devoting it to public good! (And we move on to find jobs, lol)

Is anyone else finding this behaviour odd? This is a seven year old merge. It certainly did not need another review or comment?

This is strange... I didn't know why he was reviewing this PR and how did this happen.
