Hey Seth - what is your steel man for why Coinkite have chosen to do things this way?

You've taken a very particular hard-line FOSS-maximalist position and also implied the MIT license is strongly **not** FOSS (although it actually is for most intents and purposes).

Also, I think worth mentioning here that this issue does not affect the quality and security of Coinkite products.

#[4] did this because he is afraid of competition and loose on ethos. In other words, because he is weak.

You're confusing MIT (FOSS) with MIT-CC (not FOSS, source available).

It does affect quality and security of their products. Fewer people can build on top of their code means fewer eyes on the code means fewer bugs discovered and patched by the wider ecosystem.
