Is it possible to release the filter lists under a noncommercial license?


I'm guessing your intention is that uBlock origin can use them but ABP can't?

The problem with this is that it's very hard to define "non-commercial". Have a look at some of the debates around the non-commercial Creative Commons license for more on this.


Which filter lists? What do you mean by "noncommercial license"?


Here's the most comprehensive list of lists I know, with accompanying license terms: https://filterlists.com


Wouldn't that mean that you can't use uBlock with these lists active on your work machine?


Easylist and Easyprivacy, the most common community-maintained lists, are licensed under creative commons. Pretty much everybody uses them.

According to that page, Easylist uses specifically the CC-BY-SA, which doesn't include the Non-Commercial features.
