As it’s explained in blog, many open sourced projects are used for commercial gain without doing ’copy left’, the license created here essentially covers those concerns and ensures any forks do ‘copy left’ their changes with all the freedom as in ‘free’ of open source software. I don’t see the problem with this All the kerfuffle related to ‘official’ definitions, did it help open source projects from being copied and commercialised mercilessly by closed source software (essentially legalised spyware) of corporations? I never understand this obsession. Software should be open sourced and it should have strict copy left clause! Relevant idea related to problems with copy left explained here https://www.osnews.com/story/25469/richard-stallman-was-right-all-along/ https://www.osnews.com/story/25469/richard-stallman-was-righ...
