The MIT license is better than any proprietary software license, yet MIT-licensed software attracts so many more negative license-related comments than proprietary software.
I think its because those who license software with MIT where GPL could be used are considered "traitors" and as some people believe "traitors are worse than enemies.
False equivalency. I'm comparing permissive licenses with copyleft licenses. I'm not comparing MIT license with any proprietary licenses. And if uutils is proprietary, you won't see this discussion happn at all.
Seems a bit counterproductive.
