David Chisnall (*Now with 50% more sarcasm!*)@aral @frechdachs It’s not a complex concept, it’s a complex thing to enshrine in legalese. And when you do, you are giving power to lawyers and people who can afford to pay lawyers, not to individuals.
If you want to peg a small tech thing to copyleft, that’s your choice. As someone who has written and released a few hundred thousand lines of code under permissive license, I won’t be joining in. I’ve seen people adopt the position that you are taking (that copyleft is the only true way) and it almost never achieves the goals that are stated.
You’re starting by saying that your licensing ideology is more pure than that of many successful projects. I don’t know how you expect that to build an inclusive environment.
