What’s suicidal about the BSD license? BSD code is everywhere

Yes and much of it is sealed off and proprietary. The bsd oses got MacOS for all their hard work, a closed off system that they can't read or port back anything from. Someone would say linux or gpl projects also have been fucked over this way. I suppose if your house has been burgled, such a person would argue we must remove all protections rather than add more.

  • MIT et al are winning over GPL for a reason.

    I'm not a big corporation. I prefer MIT, or better yet, public domain.

    • Are they winning as in more people are picking the license or are they winning as in we are getting a overall more enriched foss community?

      I don't understand why people have such difficulties with the Golden Rule, sounds a simple and fair enough concept.
