I could write a bot that replied to all news stories that mention software under Permissive Open Source licenses and say that such licenses are a huge mistake and GPL licenses are clearly winning in the intellectual marketplace, linking to the study on Debian and Debian market share as proof. Bots that advocate for either side would not make HN a better place and people flagging it would be the right choice. Not just because they are bots but because the repeated discussion does not advance any persons views or opinion. It is just advertisement noise from advocates arguing that their side is the holy crusade.
