Which #license do you use for your open source projects? Why? 🤔
@celia MPL. Because GPL for Rust.
@musicmatze BSD 2-Clause “Simplified” License
@celia @freddy @musicmatze the major pitfall of permissive licenses is that they are perfect for entities to take Free Software and use it in a product that denies the same rights they enjoyed, to the users of their proprietary software. IOW, to leach off of Free Software and use it to enslave their users. Copyleft (GPL, AGPL) protects down stream users. permissive licenses (BSD/MIT/Apache) don't.
@freddy @musicmatze I came across this today and it is what prompted me to ask about licenses at all. I like this. Any pitfalls I'm not seeing?
