Worrying about
> Permissive licenses are equivalent to unpaid labor in the eyes of SaaS companies and other freeloaders.
Is a way to unhappiness. I MIT/BSD stuff and no worry about who uses it and how much money they make. The attitude above is like given to poor people at the sour kitchen and then getting angry if they make it out of poverty, become successful, and don't follow in your foot steps. What they do after I've given them the soup is irrelevant.
- ReactiveJelly 5y agoBut the point of a soup kitchen is to give without expecting any RoI, not even non-monetary return. If I want to build a community of people who upstream patches for a project, copyleft does it better than saying patches are not required. MIT is like a soup kitchen because soup kitchens are like MIT. I don't want to work in a soup kitchen.

- goodpoint 5y ago> The attitude above is like given to poor people at the sour kitchen and then getting angry if they make it out of poverty Absolutely not. A correct comparison is volunteering at a soup kitchen while see someone hoards the food and sells it back to homeless people and pockets all the profit. And sometimes even takes credit for the quality of the food.
