open source is a complicated topic, here are my concerns

- i don't want to have my website be stolen or something :(

- i don't want wasteof to become decentralized with different instances and stuff, i feel like it would confuse users. there should only be one wasteof.money.

- i think open source is great for software (i wouldn't trust a program i have to install unless it's open source), but for a website like this i feel it's better to protect the code.

let me know what you think, i'm open to discussion on this.

Maybe register the trademark so that other instances won’t be able to have the name wasteof.money ? Also just use a licence which won’t permit copying the code without the licence and credits (maybe MIT, but honestly I don’t know all this licence stuff lol)
