> You mean the OSI, headed by famous C hacker Eric S. Raymond, the permissive-license rebellion against the GPL? Pretending that the MIT/BSD licenses aren't a legacy of the C ecosystem is revisionist history. Sure, C played a great part there too, but you are ignoring the present. What we are seeing now is a concerted effort to replace pro-user products with pro-business products. Even if you re right that the start of Copyleft, with gcc, is revisionist history, that has no relevance to what is happening now, which is a large effort by a specific community to replace pro-user products with pro-business products. >
