That’s an interesting comparison that I hadn’t thought of. To me, the difference is in the degree to which the browsing experience is distracting and aggravating. Neither myself nor, I think, most people are going to “turn it on, sit back,

I’ve written quite a bit of Rust, including an implementation of a collision-resistant UID algorithm and a static website generator. I’ve also written quite a few “git-er-done” scripts in the language as part of other projects (for example,

Do the LGPL and similar weak copyleft licenses not satisfy this goal? As long as the company publishes any modifications to the library itself, they are free to use it, whether or not they open source their project.
