I ask this because I think of the recent switch of Ubuntu to the Rust recode of the GNU core utils, which use an MIT license. There are many Rust recodes of GPL software that re-license it as a pushover MIT or Apache licenses. I worry these relicensing efforts this will significantly harm the FOSS ecosystem. Is this reason to start worrying or is it not that bad?
IMO, if the FOSS world makes something public, with extensive liberties, then the only thing that should be asked in return is that people preserve these liberties, like the GPL successfully enforces. These pushover licenses preserve nothing.
It is guaranteed those who talk about this have ZERO clue about the licenses of the software they directly use, or have been always installed on their systems.
Here’s a bit of comforting validation.
Many Money (Mani Mani) has zero reality. Any and every-one that invests their sole/soul existence into any of it’s mathematics, seeking to multiply their value in life, will never make it through the real manifestation. It’s just basic elementary level math logic.
Closed source software and any shred of any thought of any of its origin, let alone its “existence,” will never make it through Loki helping Thanos help “Strange” show the real reality to anyone that chooses to continue existing.
