Anti-Capitalist Software License
A software licence that permits use only by individuals, non-profits, educational institutions and worker-owned cooperatives.
The ACSL was written by programmer Ramsey Nasser and artist Everest Pipkin and spread around 2020. It grants the same freedoms as a permissive licence, with one fundamental catch: an organisation may use the code only if ownership and voting power are shared equally among the people who work there. A company with outside shareholders is excluded, whatever it plans to do with the code.
The kinship with copyfarleft is obvious, but the ACSL is written for software and in a tone that leaves little to interpretation. The Open Source Initiative does not approve it, since it discriminates between users. That is rather the point. Like most ethical licences it turns up mainly in art and small projects, where no large corporation was queuing up anyway.
