I read this blog post yesterday and it was insightful.
Seems like we could solve multiple problems in one go here…
The consequences of what that article proposes is we're gonna be back to this period of history where companies were all using proprietary technology that self-taught devs won't ever learn and that students will only learn if they can afford a school that can use it, in addition to poor developer experience because of maintainer agenda being driven by money rather than community requests.
I liked the article. It sung to my heart. I've been in this world for a while. Lived through the failure and hyperacalars just taking without giving back.
I don't know what to think. But I'm not happy with where we are and it's nice to hear someone else talking about it.
I'm all for ethical licensing, and defensive licensing, but we'll likely end up with an unmanageable soup of various licenses that everyone is nervous about misinterpreting. We lose efficacy and everyone will just default back to the same handful of licenses we're currently using.
I think unless it was a small number of crystal clear alternative licenses with broadly agreeable terms, we'd get chaos, followed by complacency.
More likely, people's work will get thrown into the bin because its poorly licensed.
Well that's kind of what I'm getting at. How many times does that happen before everybody just goes back to using GPL, MIT, etc...
Fuuuuck that!
