  • Because libertarians are the first to remove legal protections in the name of small government. This isnt a blanket rule, more anecdotal than anything. But the ones I’ve managed to find and interact with all want to remove all sorts of legal protections.

    The party doesn’t seem to represent those that I’ve interacted with. I get what your saying, but that just doesn’t match with who I’ve interacted with.

    Okay so here’s where I interject more opnion than above.

    libritarians miss the forest for the trees. From your opinion above you say fiscal responsibility. But you deney the help that social programs provide, and actually benift the economy. Poor people spend stimuls checks locally more than higher income brackets for example. Government serves people, not commerce.


  • You say the open source line, and then apply it to a project that doesn’t value those values.

    Free as in freedom comes without restrictions like commercial use.

    If that low bar of source avaialble (last I checked you have to request the source). That’s fine.

    But for a lot of FOSS people its not because it means you can never learn from the code, and apply it in your paying job. Or in your own project that suddenly gets big. Then suddenly someone is knocking demanding money.

    Its about the community as much about the code.



  • Once you go copy left, you need everyone’s consent to change the license.

    The MIT license is the creator owns the copyright, and any changes you contribute are licesned under the sam MIT as the project.

    So to go from MIt -> anything only requires the consent of the project onwer.

    Any copy left (like AGPL) license -> anything requires every contributors consent.

    It is possible, but practically infeasible at scale.

    I’d have to read more about AGPL, but IIRC GPLv2 says you must license any derived code as the same license.

    IANAL, just someone whose looked into this before.
