GPL will for the most part only mean nobody will use it. There are only very few cases in which GPL is ideal.

- rightbyte 5y agoWhat? Linux, gcc?

I think the 'You have to make public variations of this module but it can be used for anything and linked to closed source statically or dynamically' ... is more ideal for those kinds of things, which is kind of pragmatically the case. But still. It would also be nice if courts could make rulings on verbiage or licences instead of waiting for trials because that legal cloud is a big overhang for the entire world.
