Is there a particular reason they chose GPL 3 over an MIT license?
- barefeg 5y agoWhy is this downvoted?
- newaccount74 5y agoPresumably because the merits of GPL vs MIT are discussed so often on HN that people don't want any more of that.
- hk__2 5y agoMaybe because that’s not the place where to ask that question. OP should open an issue on the project to ask them instead of the HN community (who probably don’t know better).
- switch007 5y agoAsking "is there a particular reason" comes off as quite bitchy and dismissive.
- atoav 5y agoAlso: The creator probably has a reason why they chose the license. This comment pretents to be a question, when in fact it just expresses unhappieness with that license choice. If you are curious why they chose the license, why not ask them?
- infinityplus1 5y agoThere is "Open" in its name. Author probably doesn't want anyone to create more closed source software using it.
