Are there any tmux alternatives with features that are close to, or better than the same? When I’m talking about features, I’m talking about:

  • client-server session management
  • good plugin support
  • advanced copy-paste functionality
  • advanced window and pane management

but with GNU license? screen and dtach aren’t what I’m looking for, because they’re lacking in features.

There’s nothing wrong with tmux, and I would like to continue using it with Kakoune, but I want to strengthen my advocacy for software that use GNU license wherever possible.

    Good for you for doing the work of trying to make sure your software is Free in all senses of the word. I license all of my own projects under the AGPL, but when it comes to my day-to-day tools, I’ve been less discerning.

    I’m afraid I don’t have an alternative to tmux for you, but if I understand their license correctly, you could just fork it and relicence it under a GNU license. You know, like what the big corporates do, but in the other direction ;-)
