It's funny that you think your license choice meets everybodies "requirements" and mine doesn't. I think the exact opposite: I think yours meets the requirements of yourself and other developers. In comparison, I think my choice meets the requirements of humanity. Especially in the long run.
You wish I'd chosen differently. I also wish you had chosen differently, as currently from my point of view, you're helping the propagation and spread of closed source software.
Simply: I don't want my code to be used in closed source software, so I can't use your license. That choice is simply not open to me.
- foobarbazqux 13y agoThe pros of GPL software address the cons of closed source software, and the pros of closed source software address the cons of GPL software. So by choosing the BSD I'm actually helping spread both of these things, because they can both incorporate my code. It's a neutral position philosophically.
