GNU project is not just compiler. Is isn’t just Emacs either.
Systemd is also horrible project because it has sd-dbus - a dbus implementation, that requires systemd. And some projects(like Anbox) when migrating from abstraction layer to direct use of dbus accidentally choosen sd-dbus instead of dbus. And devs genuenly belive that sd-dbus is not systemd-specific.
Good take. GNU project + Linux = GNU/Linux. Android project + Linux = Android/Linux.
Godot got a big influx of donations even though it’s under a permissive license.
Many opensource game engines received donations when Unity tried to rape gamedevs.
Game logic in separate scripts isn’t covered by the interpreter’s license anyway.
That’s why I said game engine can be LGPL. Even GPL, if game logic is loaded separately.
NDAs are cancer
Because companies weren’t sharing modifications under network stack that was originally BSD. I think the only advantage *BSD stack has over Linux is kqueue, which notifies also about amount of avaliable bytes in socket, what epoll doesn’t do.
natural substances can be patented.
Oh, right. In USSA you can patent spider silk and apple tree. Complete absurd.
Temporarily free gives the idea that the code will stop being free at some point
Because it absolutely can and most of the times does.
It exists outside foss licenses in countries, where math can be patented.
Meanwhile nobody uses BSD this day, everyone is on GPLed Linux
libvorbis, yes.
if you don’t want anyone to profit from your work
Technically you can. There are two popular models: Lua model and RedHat model. In first you are paid to develop requeated features, in second for support.
I want to develop plugin for former MIT-licensed software. Now I can’t.
Is it OpenWRT?
