That's spot on. That was what I meant initially: in HN there's a strong opinion against copyleft, not necessarily free software.

- palata 3y agoI get why companies can make more profit in a world where most software is under a permissive license. I just don't really see how it benefits users and, more importantly, developers as individuals. To me, writing software in my free time and open sourcing it under a permissive license is shooting myself in the foot. I did the work for free, it may as well benefit me as a user. At minimum it should be MPLv2.
