I'm not talking about individual developers. I agree with the article's author when he says there is a place for both types of licenses and if a freelance or small team of developers choose a permissive license as a strategy to make money I respect that. I'm referring to mid to large size companies that simply want to take permissively licensed software and repackage and lock it up so they can increase share holder value. I'm talking about executives who have never developed a piece of software but are smart enough to monetize it on the backs of hobbyists and freelancers. I don't see how that puts food on anyone's table other than those who already have plenty. But, hey I come to HN for the debate so thanks for your comment, I respect your opinion.
