@mholiv@lemmy.world So there’s no reason not to use non-copyleft licences like BSD or MIT.

@mholiv@lemmy.world It’s common misconception that copyleft licences stop rich companies stealing open source.
@mholiv@lemmy.world It looks you believe that magic letters G, P and L make company release their improvements to the public. Actually they do the same with MIT and GPL code: include it into closed source products and that is. Because there’s no way for you to check if there was GPL in closed source program.
But the GPL style licences bring licence compatibility issues while MIT style do not. (And that’s why Linux cannot include ZFS driver despite it’s being “GPL style” licenced)
