I’m still a β€œwhatever” MIT guy… or, more lately, 3-Clause BSD.

What changed your mind? Did you catch leaches, or suspect someone of leeching?

It’s a mix of AI, the realization that some companies are leeches, and that the purpose of the GPL is to give freedom back to the users. It became important to me for some reason.

I switched from β€œI don’t care if you use it” to β€œI don’t care if you can’t use it due to the license, because you abused the system and I’m fed up now.”

Good reason.

I’m not sure if any of the GPLs are my ethic, but maybe I’d better review my default of grabbing the BSD license.
