I don't see the problem with putting a small license comment in my JS includes. A lot of people only want to run Free Software to the extent possible. Just as it's not unreasonable for restaurants to have offerings for people who are vegans, it's not unreasonable for software developers to offer software for hardcore FOSS types.
If you don't understand or dislike it, you don't have to include license info in your JavaScript, but why disrespect people who care?
- aaronbrethorst 10y agoVegans are probably much more likely to give you money in exchange for something.
- zxcvcxz 10y ago>why disrespect people who care? It's called FUD. All cultures are welcome except free-software culture. Have you ever noticed that? Apparently having certain software standards puts us on the same level as religious fanatics. I don't worship GNU, I don't threaten to chop heads off if people don't use free software. The reality is that free software culture poses a threat to proprietary business practices and so many companies have incentive to create a narrative where those of us who prefer free software and certain philosophical ideals are seen as crazy fanatics. Meditate for a few hours a day? no problem. Pray toward mecca seven times a day? fine. Prefer free software on your computer? GOD I HATE FREE SOFTWARE FANATICS AND THEIR INSANE PHILOSOPHY!
