But they weren't just "typing it on a computer", they were typesetting it in latex, and trying to make it look grandiose. But they just showed to everyone in the know that they don't know what they're doing.

Oh wow, I loved that. Thank you for sharing.

I think the meme is backwards. It should be one serious person in a meeting of clowns and puppets.

Here's a better example: the use of GPL software (primarily Linux and busybox) by Linksys when they made their wrt54g router was used to compel them into releasing the source code of the firmware for that router. Subsequent GPL enforcement by the SFC made Cisco release full firmware sources for a whole series of Linksys routers. Thanks to those sources openwrt, ddwrt and several other open source router firmwares developed.

I can now run three openwrt routers in my home purely thanks to the GPL. If those projects had been MIT licensed, Linksys and Cisco could have just politely told everyone to go suck a lemon because they would have had no obligation to release anything.

Unreliable? I have two Staedtler Mars Micro pens I bought a good 20 years ago and they both work perfectly.

You'll have to answer to the Tesla corporation.

The success of FOSS can in large part be attributed to copyleft licenses like the GPL. Without the protections of copyleft clauses, software just gets exploited by large corporations and end users are locked out. For just one example, if GNU software had used MIT, the entire free router movement (i.e ddwrt, openwrt and co.) would probably not exist today.

See: Free Software Foundation, Inc. v. Cisco Systems, Inc..

Edit: actually, I think by the time of this specific lawsuit, the sources for wrt54g were already released after community pressure, this article details the history a bit better.

Well the rust project is MIT licensed, so definitely not.

Classic Rythian.

Come on, they're just protecting the most vulnerable people in society. If they don't fight for the richest man on the planet, who will? /s
