MIT/BSD and similar ones.

  I don't know what you mean.

    BSD/MIT allows you to take code without any obligation to contribute back.
    • baggy_trough 2y ago
      Using code that is freely given is not in any sense stealing.
      • mrwyz 2y ago
        Only if you think taking the work of others and profiting from it without contributing anything back is fine.
        • g15jv2dp 2y ago
          The people who did the work obviously think it's fine, otherwise they wouldn't have licensed it under such a permissive licence.
          • mrwyz 2y ago
            Certainly. MIT/BSD more or less says: steal away (but retain this license notice). In some cases that's desirable.
            • baggy_trough 2y ago
              Is it stealing if somebody gives you a present and you accept it?
        • bigstrat2003 2y ago
          I am not going to debate whether it's "fine", but it's certainly not stealing. If I make someone a beautiful necklace and they sell it in an auction, I might wish they hadn't done that with my gift - but they haven't stolen anything either.
