> MIT/permissive licenses are for developer freedom, but xGPL and other strong copyleft licenses are for users' freedom. GPLv3 also provides plenty of protection for developers unlike other licenses, especially around patents. Also, all developers are users of development tools and libraries.

Yes. All developers are users of the said tools, applications and libraries, but the reverse is not true. i.e. not all users are developers. So, while I see this is a clarification, I don't think what I've said is blatantly wrong.

  > I don't think what I've said is blatantly wrong. Nobody accused you to do so. I wrote "also" in both sentences to add nuance to what you wrote and finesse it.

    Sorry, my bad, honestly. I probably read it wrong, then. Didn't intend to sound too harsh, too.
