Satoshi:

If the only library is closed source, then there's a project to make an open source one.

If the only library is GPL, then there's a project to make a non-GPL one.

If the best library is MIT, Boost, new-BSD or public domain, then we can stop re-writing it.

I don't question that GPL is a good license for operating systems, especially since non-GPL code is allowed to interface with the OS. For smaller projects, I think the fear of a closed-source takeover is overdone.

I can’t help but think of the disgusting idea of licensing the Bitcoin network and how lucky we are to not have fallen down that terrible path.

As an aside, this is also why I despise Microsoft products 😂
