Do you have an example of a project that has both free and commercial licenses? How does that work in practice?

The problem from a user interface perspective is that the search bar and the url are the same field. I don’t have edge, but what happens if they type “Google” into the url bar vs “Google.com” vs “https://google.com”/.
I have this problem at home when I try to go to a device on my lan, like how “http://jellyfin.lan”/ works but “Jellyfin.lan” takes me to a search page.
I think that it depends on the subject being argued about. It is ok to have “both sides have a point” when you are arguing about what OS your next computer will run, there are genuine advantages to each option.
But it is important to know when to draw the line. I do NOT agree that “both sides have a point” when it comes to human rights or any other actually important subject matter.
The thing everyone needs to know is that not all internet arguments are created equal and you have to know when to listen to both sides and when one side is just plane wrong.
I remember this happening to Linksys with the WRT-54g routers. They shipped with firmware based on open software (I don’t remember the exact license) and they were brought to court and forced to release the source code.
In the end it really helped the sales of that model because hobbyists wanted it for the freedom of running their own code on it.
