- theamk 3y agoI think it comes with creating content yourself. Once you make some, you kinda want to have some control over it.
- JoshuaRogers 3y agoThat might be misunderstanding the role of copyright as it applies to the worlds we live in. Many here see copyright as a critical tool necessary for the existence of copy-left licenses, licenses that we use to make sure that what we write stays open in a way that others can benefit from. We rely on copyright to ensure that our code stays “Free as in speech” not simply “Free as in beer”. Simply accepting no form of creator control is at odds with our desire to make sure that the things we produce stay open for others to use since there is nearly no incentive for the next person to keep our code open.
