So this is a peanut gallery esque reply, but this sort of thing is what GPL was meant to avoid. I know GNU has had a lot of detractors and criticism, but you cannot and should not expect large orgs to respect community norms around open source. Permissive licenses are NOT better in this world where different players have different levels of power relative to each other.

Sometimes I wonder if all the shitting on free software in general is in fact cynical and in bad faith by actors who want your labour for free.
