I read that. How many users do they have? 47k seems like a lot but how many devs does that really pay for? The answer is obviously “not enough”. Otherwise they wouldn’t be talking about dev pressure.

As usual, most people don’t contribute back in any way (money, nor code, nor documentation).

Why do you need to do research for GPL? It’s the OG opensource license AFAIK that forces users to also opensource their stuff. MIT let’s anybody close source your code and make money with it.

GPL isn’t perfect as it doesn’t solve the funding problem, but MIT is about the worst thing one can do for opensource: do the work for companies, for free, and be OK with never contributing back to the opensource ecosystem.

But why MIT? How come that became the default? Why not GPL? Is Microslop Github suggesting MIT by default?

I don’t understand what’s going on with the rust community insisting on cuck licences. Do they love writing on their Mac books so much?
