I can see that. Here&#x27;s why I think it could work nonetheless:<p>(1) Torwalds is one of the people able to drum up the OSS community. If people hated him so much as to not follow him on a technical detail, they&#x27;d develop for BSD rather than Linux.<p>(2) the reason GPLv3 has mostly failed seems to be mostly due to the controversial nature of the changes while the change for more compatibility with another free license seems straightforward
