I definitely feel GPL has its own merits. It's time people recognize that.

- pydry 3y agoThey do. The merits are what make FAANG angry. They want the right to profit from your work without any corresponding obligations and GPLv3, AGPL, SSPL, BPL, etc. all deny them that right.
- josephcsible 3y agoIt's not really about profit. The GPL doesn't restrict that. It's about wanting to leech off of the FOSS community by turning other people's FOSS code into proprietary products. By the way, the SSPL isn't free or open source, so lumping it in with the GPL and AGPL like that could easily mislead people.
- demizer 3y agoMy personal open source contributions will only be GPL. Damn the torpedoes! I will only contribute to lesser licenses if I am getting paid by a corp, which I do, and of course that software cannot be GPL'd.
