  • All copy left software is foss but not all foss is copy left.

    If gnu utils where MIT licensed instead of GPL we wouldn’t have the free routers that we have today.

    Cisco fought against opening things up tooth and nail but was forced to because of their use of community GPL code. If the code was MIT the community would have nothing back.

    MIT lets companies use community work to enrich themselves without giving back.

    GPL forces companies to give back if they want to or not.

    Why let companies enrich themselves at the cost of society if we don’t have to?
