@msw or businesses that have patents

@msw I think patents are bad, but it shouldn’t be surprising if businesses want nothing to do with stuff licensed that way.

@msw sounds about right. I've worked at a few companies that sell physical devices containing software. They all have lists of approved licenses. GPLv3 is the only one that commonly causes a problem. Most devices don't come with eclipse or Firefox installed.

People should use whatever license they want for their work. However, if you're hostile to big business don't expect them to provide free hosting.

@msw if one of those freedoms is to give their competitors the right to sell their work, I think that counts as hostile.
I think I see things the other way around. Ford, Boeing, and Qualcomm are not going to give anyone access to their IP, and FOSS can't change that. Linux with GPLv2 does something amazing: it gets a bunch of corporate dollars from competing companies into improving Linux.

@msw I kinda get banning AGPLv3. It’s pretty hostile to business.
