nostr:npub1j87rgjtftxaux3xd5nhthwavm3907ywnu8x0z0uywqntsv57vajshl3hzx changed my opinions on open source licenses, which I’ve held for over a decade, with a single sentence… “all foss licenses other than MIT require some form of state power to enforce” . Meaning, all of the common open source licenses support, and rely on, the State’s coercion through violence.

Then stop using them.

Is all tort law state coercion?
How does "you have permission do use this under these circumstances" necessitate state violence?
