There is an impedence mismatch hinted at here: > The systematic underestimation of the costs and effort operations require is what makes the principle of “Software as a Service” (SaaS) successful. Using free software makes vast sense both as an individual and as an enterprise. But there is vast gulf of difference between an individual bash script and a multi-node enterprise service, e.g. ElasticSearch. While I respect RMS and have been an FSF member for decades and think that his absolutist views are an essential ingredient in the overall chemistry, he's not temperamentally suited to running a business. What is needful IMO is a step back from arguing about One True License and instead some analysis of what is sought by them, and maybe a narrowing of the mosaic of licenses into a handful of categories that we can understand, if not enjoy. Then, perhaps, the spectrum of developers from individual- to enterprise- can live in harmony and swellness. Or at least put the lawyers on a diet.
