RE: My Announcement March 15 2017
LOL. Did you heard about Barbra Streisand effect? Moreover, this is blockchain bro - what was written into blockchain, stays on the blockchain forever :) Now everyone will read it, because it is like forbidden fruit - but personally I think it will be good for community to understand how important it is to have solid foundation - proper licence which empowers progress and innovation.
Clearly @dan has some regret posting it...If he felt strongly the information needed to be out there he would have left it out there.
Or maybe I understand Streisand effect.
Dan, I applaud your choice to stand up for your values in the most direct of ways. I'm also saddened as a stakeholder of this project and concerned about those that are working full time for it (the team you've left behind).
I think that the existing license is a protection for Steem holders against the big fish in the social media industry. I think it is a pragmatic protection that could be lifted after a network effect is achieved. I'm guessing that isn't the only reason for your leaving and look forward to gazing upon your future works.

The thick plottens! Hahah.
Edit: Or, he was asked to.
What a turn of event.
He's right. My last post was a streisand effect.
