Hi Maximilian, we understand your concern around the permissive licensing. Our goal with Twilio CodeExchange is to enable as many developers with code as possible and allow the community to showcase their projects. Ultimately it is your call under what license you license your code but since this hackathon is celebrating the opening of community submissions for CodeExchange, we decided to limit it to permissive licenses only. If you are concerned about others using your work for commercial reasons especially in some of the prize categories, that’s okay. If you still want to participate, maybe try yourself on the X-Factor category and surprise us with something super creative that companies are likely not turning into something profit-generating. But it’s your call :)
