Yes it is. Given the counter example one might just as well argue that the GPL can attract more commercial contributors than a permissively licensed project, or even that such licensing is a "roadblock" for some contributors.
You really find this sort of "a priori reasoning" meaningful?
- burntsushi 13y ago> Yes it is. A counter example demonstrates a claim as false by assuming it is true, and the demonstrating that, in reality, it is false. Your counter example does no such thing. It merely shows that a GPL project can be popular. In particular, your example does not denote any relationship between GPL and permissively licensed projects. > You really find this sort of "a priori reasoning" meaningful? Yes. Re-read my last comment to you. I explicitly described how it was meaningful. I'd rather remove roadblocks to using my software than add them.
