Nor requires them to give anything back.
Putting your code in MIT license is basically slogan "take all of it and give nothing back". Which is why so many corporate developers push for it, no lawyer to talk to when you take MIT-licensed code to use in your project.

There are no "open core GNU licenses". It is just perversion of the idea and abusing the fact some of them are not restrictive enough that you can still have paid parts that are closed source

- ilyt 4y agoSo they require to give something back to the users of the software
- GoblinSlayer 4y agoGiving back not in the form of a spoon fed pull request begging to merge? Does it really happen?
- pabs3 4y agoI'd call that giving something forward rather than back, like the "pay it forward" movement: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pay_it_forward https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pay_it_forward
