- ilc 4y agoBig corps won't let that happen. They make too much from MIT/BSD. Look at FAANG and other companies' policy towards the GPL and their abuse of BSD, and I think it is pretty clear what's up.
- nequo 4y agoDo you have any links about their BSD abuse? I would like to read more.
- yjftsjthsd-h 4y ago> their abuse of BSD It's perfect by legitimate to prefer copyleft, but I struggle to take seriously the idea that a license can be abused by following its terms, particularly when the reason people put stuff under permissive licenses is to let anyone do whatever they want with it without giving back.
- aaa_aaa 4y agoHow is a totalitarian state's actions are related with MIT/BSD anyway? It is absurd to think that states care about software licenses.
