Hmm, that's unfortunate - why does so much Rust stuff seem to default to MIT/BSD ? Just because Mozilla used that for most of the Rust stuff ? Do developers us

Do developers using Rust even know the difference ? Like how anyone can basically take all you work & base a proprietary fork on it with maybe saying "thanks" (attribution) if they feel like it ? :P
- conradludgate 6mo agoI'm very aware when I pick Apache-2. I want attribution for my work, but I don't care about open source purity. I respect closed source software and I put my open source code up for free because I don't care to profit off of my hobbies.
- johnny22 6mo agofor the same reason most ruby and javascript/typescript stuff is. Heck, even most python. Most of them never got into the GPL in the first place.

Which is about the only other way anyone makes better money from open source than by just working for a big tech company.
