> It seems worth emphasizing that its creation was neither ideologically motivated nor part of some nefarious GPL-erasure scheme, it was just some people hacking on a codebase for fun.
What the motivation and intent was in 2013 is not necessarily relevant to what the motivation and intent is now.
It's even less relevant to what the effect is: the goal may be to replace $FOO software with $BAR software, but as things stand right now $FOO is "GPL" and $BAR is "MIT".
So, yeah, I don't want them to succeed at their primary goal, because that replaces pro-user software with pro-business software.
