I've stated earlier that I'm more of a fan of the BSD license than of the GPL.
But no matter what philanthropic tasks you or I may have done, in software or otherwise, I don't feel as if others should make their code available to us under my preferred license.
Therefore, unlike some commenters here, I don't bitch when I can't use a piece of code due to its license, or go on tirades about how people release their own work under a license not to my liking, even if I think they are choosing the wrong license.

- gte910h 15y agoI'm happy all of this is your opinion, but I haven't done any of those things I just say "restrictive" is a fair description of the Apple appstore, Sony's Approval process of the PS3 game catelog, and the GPL, and labeling it as such is a worthwhile service vs permissive licences that almost everyone can use the code of. For a service such as github, which is about social coding, it's okay to point out some people being idealistic and somewhat slightly less inclined to share.
