So do you see MIT as a potential backdoor for embrace extend extinguish? And a general erosion of the philosophy of open source? I tend to like GPL and MIT both. I lean more towards copyleft myself but I have come to appreciate a more permissive license. even leaving out smaller developers, if a big company decides they’re intent on making money using open source tools, I don’t think they’re gonna change their whole gameplan because something in the toolchain is GPL licenses.
