> If you want your idea to make the world a better place, use permissive, liberal licensing and move on. Most examples of this directly contradict what you say. Whilst Apple has contributed somewhat to BSD, the vast majority of their work is closed up and sealed off. It's not making the world a better place. GPL3 and AGPL are really the only defense against the tragedy of the commons. > It's the equivalent of screaming "why can't we all just get along" into the Matrix. You have it the wrong way around. MIT is screaming for people to place nicely and work together. GPL sets a strict contract and rules for playing, there is no screaming and there is no room for people to create their own forks and not work together.
