I'm fine with people not using copyleft licenses.
I'm fine with people stating they don't use copyleft licenses.
I'm not fine with people spreading FUD about copyleft licenses.
I'm, in a broader sense, not fine with people spreading FUD that Just So Happens to align with the business interests of companies.

My only objection was to the use of the word "afraid", as if we're all either irrational or brainwashed and there aren't real practical issues with copyleft in certain situations. In short, you're arguing against anti-copyleft FUD, and I'm arguing against anti-non-copyleft FUD. Both are important for a FUD-free discussion.
- burntsushi 4y agoThis entire thread was kicked off by someone grossly mischaracterizing the situation, right? Look: >>> I suppose that the removal of this freedom is accidental, because it was a nice thing. >> Not necessarily. Some people prefer the MIT/BSD/ISC family of licenses over GPL. > Most of us have employers who are afraid of copyleft. That has made us afraid of copyleft, because we feel like our job is threatened by copyleft. There's no anti-copyleft FUD here. All that's here is someone assuming someone else isn't a fan of copyleft because of "fear."
