  • Thats my friend! He’s really like that all the time and is genuinely compassionate and wholesome in every aspect of his life.

    He volunteers on a local community radio show each week called The Pedestrian Show where he advocates for better biking infrastructure in the city. He’s like actually involved in city council meetings and breaks down the proposed development plans on the radio in simple terms so people can understand what’s happening in the city without reading 50 pages of legalese.

    Also, he’s really good at ping pong haha.









  • GPLs “restrictions” are freedom preserving though. It only restricts developers from keeping dirivitive code proprietary. In order to violate the GPL you’d have to choose to use GPL code and then choose not to release your modified versions of it under a similar copyleft license. It may seem counterintuitive, but having those restrictions results in more software freedom overall - similar to the paradox of intolerance.

    I’m not saying MIT or so called permissive licenses are bad, but the permissive/restrictive language is just as loaded as the OPs suggestions. Both styles are needed, but copyleft licenses are better at promoting software freedom.

    Edit: I do agree with you that LGPL serves an important role in promoting free/libre software where it would otherwise would never be used.
