Why do you continue to license under permissive licenses in 2017?

>permissive
Is that somekind of hateful label for non-restricting?

Linus is a goddamn retard, I can name a bunch of successful and great open source software projects under non-restricting licenses just off the top of my head: PostgreSQL, Python, X.org, Node.js, Fossil (which is much better than that overengineered piece of shit Git, btw), OpenSSH, OpenSSL, Nginx, Clang, et cetera ad nauseam...

Grow up, you idiot.

Grow up faggots.

Permissive licenses are garbage and always have been. Typically the only people who like them are neckbeards who think capitalism and freedom are synonymous.

The only restriction the GPL places on you is that you have to give unto others what others gave unto you. It's nothing more than the golden rule, applied to software.

Didn't your first-grade teacher tell you why you should follow the golden rule?

That's the official name for it. I'm taking an NDG Linux course on Cisco Netacad and the tests/reading use the same term.

"non-restricting" sounds like the real hateful label, since you're implying GPL is restrictive

Whoa, FSF shills out in full force today!

>>58650918
That's funny from you as FSF hosts some BSD mirrors too for packages and stuff. They promot(ed) freeBSD too.

Your thin skin is showing.

That's not the Golden Rule, read the goddamn fucking Bible you idiot. What the Golden Rule really says is "all things therefore whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do you also to them" (St. Matthew 7, 12). I don't wish others to distribute all their private fucking source, so I don't have to distribute mine, retard.

Also, if you use non-restricted code and don't distribute the source, you're not taking away from anyone: the original code remains there for everyone to enjoy.

Try again, you frustrated mouthbreather.

Enjoy your diversity, moron. >>58560488

Golden rule doesn't say anything about forcing others to conform to your moral values, you authoritarian asshole. That's diametrically opposed to freedom.

Only doublethinking idiots consider GPL or copyleft software "free" software, that's total newspeak.
