I don’t understand your thinking. Currently you can use GPLed code in your derivative works, if you release your changes under the same license. If copyright were abolished you would be able to use any code, but have no requirement to release yours.
Maybe you mean to say that the MIT license emulates abolition of copyright? That’s still not really true, but it’s definitely closer to true.
- GoblinSlayer 5y agoNo, being a permissive license, MIT license's purpose is to ensure proprietary software can abuse users through copyright.
