Yes I care very much about people making their own decisions in their own lives (e.g. LGBT, abortion etc) and with ever more restrictive laws (even here in Europe) I kinda just have given up on the law in general. I just shrug at it while the extreme-right tries to curtail our rights (in my country a quarter of people voted extreme-right in our last election). I just don't think legalese is the way to protect this. It's not working anyway.
Also I'm just totally not a 'team player' so I don't care about loyalty to a party, group or country.
> I myself think the GPL is the better option in most cases, because I care that the end users' freedom is guaranteed. I pretty much don't want developers to do "whatever they want" with my work, I want them to respect their own users' freedom. This is highly political/philosophical of course.
I don't think the GPL is very good at this. The BSD license is seen as more friendly to business but in practice it gives users more freedom. Especially because the GPL protects the rights of all contributors including corporate ones, the corporate market loves GPL much more and thus is more involved. Which always comes with more strings attached. I view GPL more as protection of the authors, not the end users.
The few times serious tinkering was done by commercial entities in BSD it was basically a huge disaster: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/03/buffer-overruns-lice...
