Yeah, the language that: - has been around stable for over 6 years and was already somewhat popular years before that - is the first real contender to C in the Linux kernel, with support from its BDFL and a lot of work going on, and well th

If you buy a laptop here it's ~100€ cheaper without an OS or Linux on it, so even if you want to use Windows you should buy the cheaper version and get a 5€ OEM key or the like. An additional benefit to that: less HW vendor crap instal

You're doing that either way, just like you're going to see ads regardless of whether you paid $$$ for a Windows license, pirated a key or just life with the water-mark and other limits of an unlicensed Windows.

What would their benefits for releasing it under a permissive license be? AGPLv3 is a good trade, you get to use it for free but if you make improvements they need to be released, which often means that they are directly unstreamed as that
