    I never got the people promoting the bsd license. The fully foss licenses are perfect, if you actually use the code to do something you have to contribute backcand if youre only using it privately you can do whatever you want while still getting access to excellent code. I dont care about fucking corpos being able to use the code or not, if you use it you have to contribute. Thats the model linux is based on and thats why it just works on intel cpus for example. Intel worked a shitton on the code instead of just developing some binary blob that makes it work.

    BSD was created from the start to give software for free to corpos to use in products, in exchange for DARPA funding for Berkeley CSRG. That is why the BSD license is the way it is and how it continues to work to this day.
