I'm not bitter, just disappointed in all the wasted developer time that happens because people get caught up in these copyleft ideas. Of course you can pick whatever license you want but that doesn't mean it can't be criticized. > If you only complain and don't then you are just being hypocritical. You don't need to be an architect to complain about crumbling bridges, but indeed I have released software under more free licenses.

> people get caught up in these copyleft ideas Because of these ideas, we have nice things like open source systems and such.

>wasted developer time Only if you assume copyleft code would otherwise be available for developers. The other alternative is people who don't want others profiting from their free code just don't release their code.

Well, it's easy to be disappointed in all the wasted developer time because copy left. It's transparent. It's harder not only to be disappointed but to even notice all the wasted developer time because of closed source code because well it's even obscured how can you as a developer benefit from the code.
