MIT/BSD is more free.

@somethingeloquent Arguably true. Choosing more free vs more featureful vs more robust is a complex dance, and we each need to find our own steps.

@somethingeloquent Just on the merits of the licenses, MIT and BSD are more appealing to businesses, but they are also vulnerable to the embrace-and-extend attack (a la kerberos5 and Microsoft). The LGPL is sometimes a fair compromise, as it resists E-a-E without requiring full sharing of source code.

@ttk I don’t see openBSD getting e&e’d; I’m not sure what you mean maybe?

Regardless, on the matter of personal freedom to do with as I choose with my software, it cannot be argued that anything GPL is freedom promoting. GPL is explicitly freedom /limiting/.
