@santi @mos_8502 @Wintermute_BBS well, as for #GPLv2 and license enforcement, using #copyleft as a bat to club corporations with isn't effective.

@landley still feels remorse for having started that with #BusyBox.

Not to mention #GPLv3 & #AGPLv3 really is bad unless one wants to commit "asset denial" aka. be an anticompetitive dickhead and at that point it's close to "asshole licensing" of #SSPL & #RSAL!

@xerxespersrex nodds in agreement...

At least most source available products like #Tarsnap are honest that they are not #OpenSource!
