Ignoring the legal issues, there are also ethical issues.
The BSD crowd has always struck me as being thoughtful and principled. (vs., say, RedHat these days, which has decided to just violate the GPL en masse by banning people that redistribute source code).
- ysofunny 2y agoBSD license is the most freedom encouraging license GPL made the mistake of "using the tools in the master's shed to fight the master" as they say; hence the FSF and the GNU project are not in a good path. Open source (IMO) is -- simply put, an idelogical attack against the freedom of software movements (in all their forms and means)
- surfingdino 2y agoThere were also cases of GPL fanboys relicensing BSD code as GPL.
- JackSlateur 2y agoThis is not a license violation per-se They must send the source to their clients. They have nothing obligations to keep all of their clients.
