For me the logic roughly worked out like this. I managed to get successive employers to "sponsor" (i.e. pay me my normal salary but let me use my work time to work on my open source project) my open source project, because we were using that project at work and it was missing features my employer was interested in.
Some of those employers had policies outright prohibiting GPL use...
- LtWorf 4y agoif it was lgpl licensed they'd have no choice but to do that
- gampleman 4y agoNo. They would have simply never adopted the library and most likely not hired me either.
- LtWorf 4y agoas it goes for 99.99999999999% people who release under MIT. And linux (GPL) does have paid developers, and so does webkit (LGPL). Your data is rather meaningless… but I'm happy your statistic that excludes all the data points you dislike proves your theory :)
