    I kinda vibe with this. There was an odd wave of GPL hate that cropped up some time ago, and people started using MIT. It feels super weird. If companies want to use your code, they should probably have to commit back to upstream or pay for it.

    I feel those in whatever you’d call the general opem source community that stand against the GPL are the perfect example of “freedom” loving libertarian techbros. They can’t stand the idea that something could restrict their desire to do whatever they want at the expense of others.

    Libre software allows everyone to own the software in some capacity without the ability to suck it for profit.

    Not letting selfish people steal code from authors that want people to share it. Well the code trolls can roll their own code and license as they see fit.
