The copyleft licenses don't require to give anything back either, they only require to give source code forward to downstream users, who may or may not contribute back upstream to the original project.
- 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?
