Frankly, I wish there were a term I could use for the code that I make public that isn't in any way associated with some silly "movement" that wants to make my code "free" or otherwise taint it with some form of pretentiousness that I don't intend.
It's code that I'm throwing out onto the internet for other people to use. I can't for the life of me understand why some people think it's so important as to split hairs about definitions and argue about licenses for it.

- skore 16y agoBecause there are some people who care about the social and philosophical implications of their work or hobby. If you don't need that, that's fine. Go with "Open Source", or "Copyleft" or whatever suits you. The only reason why we insist that it is important is because there are others who continue to push that it is not. I never really understood that particular color of "activism", but to each his own, I guess.
