Section 6 & 13 of the license is a bit of a headache though. Do I need to upload the whole bot script to, say, github, before I even start posting using the script?
i don’t think so. i think what’s important is that it stays under the same license, which means sooner or later you’ll have to disclose source, but i don’t think anyone is going to be so picky as to say you have to do it at the very beginning.
in other words, as long as you are not intentionally withholding source, it should be alright, but again, ianal. anyway, yours is just a hobby project so no need to be so strict about it.
i am just bringing to your attention the nature of the license involved, so maybe if you’re not that comfortable with it, you could look around for a more permissively licensed python lemmy library (if there’s even such a thing, considering the whole lemmy stack is already under the same license).
I’ll keep that in mind, thanks.
