I respect BurntSushi's stance and I think it is a valid one. However, the disapproval of the use of copyright as a hack against itself is ideological in nature and is therefore somewhat contrary to deep practicality.
- burntsushi 6y agoBut, I also explained why the hack (in this case, copyleft) is, in practice, contrary to my goal of sharing my code with others. So it's not just ideological.
- feanaro 6y agoTrue. However, I'm delineating here between the disapproval of the use of copyleft as a mechanism and your personal (and practical) preference to use something else that suits your needs better. In essence, I think copyleft has its place and its existence is not in opposition with the notion that ideas cannot be owned, but I do see how it doesn't play out well for you practically.
