@peepstein @xek yes, this is a very valid ideology that many advocates of BSD-style licenses have adopted (e.g., ⬇️).

The reasons that communities (like those who build FreeBSD) adopt policies that exclude, in various degrees, copyleft licensed software are principled ones—even when the outcome is software that does not respect the freedom of end users (e.g., macOS).
