The dominance of libertarianism, and pro corporate licensing within the FOSS world is disgusting and annoying me. I don’t have any articles or anything that is hard proof. But I do have this github post and graph I guess

And the other thing I have? A hunch no-i-in-pezza

I’m glad the software is free, but come the fuck on. “Problematic” for fucking who?? Google? It better be!

Thank you dessalines for having a spine, and choosing a proper license.

And the site that they link? It’s not only highly pro corporate but also fucking lying!!!

It doesn’t prevent you from selling shit!!! Shut the fuck up!!! I’m not making my work a way for you to easily profit, give shit back or fuck off maddened

They can keep making the shit that they do, but I ain’t committing a single line of code to that fucker.

    Copy left turns copyright into a tool of collective ownership among the working class, tech oligarchs hate this, so they invented permissive licenses that essentially force workers into giving free labor to companies with no mechanism for giving back.

    GitHub, owned by MS, offers the permissive MIT/Expat license as the default, so users are pushed into not fighting for their rights or having a class consciousness in the first place.

    It’s not really drama more than its techbros bootlicking capitalists and giving their labor away rather than ensuring it remains collectively owned and operated.
