Any license with an ideological component is a timebomb that goes off when the developer decides you are no longer pure enough. You’d have to be insane to use any software with a license like this (if one was enforceable)
- duncan_bayne 6y ago> when the developer decides you are no longer pure enough Which will happen. Purity wars in ideological movements are nothing new (and far from limited to the political Left!). E.g. Orwell was shot during the Spanish Civil War, not by Fascists, but by a different bunch of Communists on whose side he was theoretically fighting. > You’d have to be insane Well, this is a Marxist thing, so that box comes pre-ticked.
- 0xy 6y agoIt's often a joke among far-left communities that garden variety liberals are more contemptible than right-wing organizations, so I believe it. When you get to the fringes of political ideology, infighting and corruption tend to be insane. There's constant backstabbing (sometimes in a literal sense) at both extremes.
- non-entity 6y agoyeah I have some ML friends I followed on social media and got a first hand look at so called leftist infighting. Seems mostly counterproductive.
