- mindcrime 6y agoUuuugggh... no, license proliferation BAD. Seriously, did the world need yet another Copyleft license? Is there something they couldn't find in the GPL, MPL, etc? And "For a limited time, husky 5 will be released under License Zero's Parity License. It will be MIT again later." What the heck? Who wants to use a project without a (relatively) stable license? To me, this is muddying the waters and making things confusing for no real reason. IF I were a Husky user, I'd probably drop it at this point. I'm sure they have good intentions behind this move, but from a more pragmatic standpoint, this just doesn't seem like a desirable thing to me.
