#asknostr Which #opensource license do you prefer and why? I've been considering making some #nostr tools and am debating which license to release under. I've historically favored #GPL since I think users should be able to know what they're running on their machines, but licenses like #BSD and #MIT give developers more freedom which could enable more development in the space overall. I'm considering a library, so it could conceivably be used in a variety of tools, and I want to be able to help as many #devs as possible, but I also don't super like the idea of contributing to #closedsource corporate products attempting to commoditize the space. What type of license do you prefer? What do you think would best foster growth in the nostr ecosystem? Should I let go and accept that businesses will incorporate my code in closed source products, or should I enforce openness through my licensing?
