    I will say, as I’ve grown older and more jaded, I’ve been finding the GPL more and more appealing…

    Edit: Oh wow, why did a year old post show up at the top of “Hot”, sorry about bumping.

          Often when binaries are decompiled specific internal structures and code can be exposed and that can be used for comparison to source code to make an argument in court. Thats established case law already.

          Either way it involves the person’s with the GPL copy right taking a company to court. IE openwrt comes from linksys taking the Linux kernel and BusyBox source. Both are GPL.

    MIT is great for tiny scripts and the like, but any large project should be copyleft imo.
