- zelphirkalt 6y agoThat's why I wrote "usually" and "I might not have seen" ... Can you please _read_ what is written and consider it, before writing things, that I already know might be true?
- e-v 6y agoI was simply pointing out the fact that your claim that '[u]sually "open source license" equates to MIT license and BSD licenses' is simply completely untrue. There are no 'might's or 'usually' here. Both Open Source and Free Software licenses have very clear criteria. There are no licenses which are 'usually' one or the other. They are mostly strictly equivalent.
