The dominance of libertarianism, and pro corporate licensing within the FOSS world is disgusting and annoying me. I don't have any articles or anything that is hard proof. But I do have this github post and graph I guess

And the other thing I have? A hunch no-i-in-pezza

I'm glad the software is free, but come the fuck on. "Problematic" for fucking who?? Google? It better be!

Thank you dessalines for having a spine, and choosing a proper license.

And the site that they link? It's not only highly pro corporate but also fucking lying!!!

It doesn't prevent you from selling shit!!! Shut the fuck up!!! I'm not making my work a way for you to easily profit, give shit back or fuck off maddened

They can keep making the shit that they do, but I ain't committing a single line of code to that fucker.

i don't think licenses are actually helpful and very hard to enforce for individuals or even small collectives but even then i would distrust anyone actively choosing any non-copyleft licence for their projects. maybe the people that try to ignore copyright are okay, but still is hard to trust them

If Google are scared enough by it to tip toe around then I'm going to promote it. Also there exist organizations that protect the enforcement of these licenses, like the Software Freedom Conservancy. Or you know, specialized lawyers like the Software Freedom Law Center.

I still believe that a "Fuck you!" in the form of the GPL license is good enough to stave off a lot of corps.
