    Seems like meme.

    What’s wrong with GPL? It also has an actual legal body that protects it rather than something some basement nerd threw together with edgy flavor of the month words.

    I’d argue that GPL is very anti-capitalism. The whole copyleft movement is to encourage community sharing and user freedoms which I find is the core value of open source software.

      Yeah, the GPL is further left than this one, because it forces you to share / communalize the code.

      This license just seems like a “promise” that you won’t try to make a profit off the code, rather than enforcing a de-privatization of it.

        It’s vague enough to just directly discourage people from using it, for risk of getting in trouble with the creator. This is not a free software license, and so it restricts people’s freedom, making it almost as bad as proprietary software.

          There are plenty of anti-capitalists out there whom I don’t trust to write code I don’t have the freedom to modify and check
