I've been debating GPL vs MIT in my head a bit lately. I've always thought that when I do open source my projects they would be GPL because I always liked the idea that if I am going to share, you have to share as well.
In the last little while I have been wondering if the negative side effects of forcing others to be open outweigh the benefits.
I don't really have a point. I just think its interesting.
- TeMPOraL 7y agoI used to be pro-MIT, now I'm increasingly leaning towards licensing my stuff under GPL. Yes, this means some of that stuff won't be usable in a typical commercial settings (and there were times where I had to roll my own implementation of some functionality at work, because the only good library available was under GPL). But I want to live in a world GPL tries to make happen. MIT & friends are licenses that benefit developers. GPL family focuses on benefits to end users.
