    Permissive licences should be the ones to fuck off entirely. GPL or death

      No, libraries should remain permissive IMO. Applications can be restrictive if they want to. I just don’t see any point in a copyleft library or framework.

      I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: there is a place for permissive licenses. A great example is reference code for open standards, eg. TCP/IP.

        Permissive licences are useful compared to copyleft ones only for unfree actors, which we should fight integrally at every step of the way
