- Good. If I'm not mistaken, there are other licenses with similar goals. I'd like to see a comparison.by bigbadfeline
- Funnily enough, because of this clause it's no longer very permissive.
But I guess it's fine if author wants to make a political statement? Plus it does not matter that much anyway, if one needs this under regular license, they can always ask agent to rewrite all code...
by theamk - My aim wasn't to make a political statement and I think GPL still has its place.
It was more about wanting to give code away in a form that was free for other people to use commercially and have that freedom guaranteed for future users.
Appreciate the feedback though, and yes is slightly less permissive compared to MIT/Apache but about the same as MPL as they both place restrictions. I tried to make it so it doesn't capture unrelated code in a project under its licence so think it works out slightly more permissive then GPL.
