I don't know about that, I hate agendas. A hammer does not have one, and that does not make it a less useful tool.
- ChristianBundy 7y ago> A hammer does not have [an agenda], and that does not make it a less useful tool. Sure, but by default all software has a copyright agenda built in. We can remove copyright, but there are two approaches: - Remove copyright so that anyone can use your code, but then they can re-add copyright to your code and sue other people for violating their copyright. - Remove copyright so that anyone can use your code and ensure that nobody can re-add copyright to your code. I used to be in the former camp, but I've slowly moved to the latter.
- Teknoman117 7y agoIt's kinda why I like the Mozilla license (MPL). Anyone can freely use (leech even) on the project, but if they make improvements or changes to the project they have to share. It also doesn't try to control how the consumer of the project is allowed to deploy such software either.
