i don&#x27;t buy the rhetoric at face value and i don&#x27;t think it helps promote open source at all.<p>at best its promoting one flavour of open source methodologies in an authoritarian way. not open source software in general... it does little itself to teach us why open source is good, but its easy to learn why GPL is bad and tar all of open source with the same brush.<p>the MIT and BSD style licenses are open source, but not militant about it. they are doing much better work to promote open source software imo since people will actually use software that is distributed under them in large commercial projects without fear, meaning that open source libraries do actually get used a lot, which lets people learn their advantages first hand...<p>i like your quote about this. that someone will come along and make an MIT version... :)
