Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I'm not sure what exactly you consider "core rules" but GPL3 also puts stipulations on how software can be used and who can use it but I doubt you would be complaining about that.
I'm also not a lawyer, but I don't see how a license that says "if you're an individual, do whatever you want" is going to stop someone with good intentions from contributing.
Software Freedom #0: The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose
Open source criteria #6: The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research.
By forbidding some entities from using the software, it violates both Free Software and Open Source and makes itself proprietary.
