So now that Eric S. Raymond confirmed GPLv2 is fucked, what license is safe?
Can GPLv3 be revoked retroactively? What about MIT? BSD? Apache? CDDL?

Why is this an actual issue?

You're right. Time to go back to closed source proprietary software.
Matthew Jackson
We should really just go back to the old days where people just write code and SJW cunts are told to inhale a shotgun shell.
Chase Hughes
just make your own license lol
Henry Rogers
>go back
I'd say that is going forward

Linus once said in one of his presentations that the ISC license is really nice.
Ryder Cruz
What makes it different from BSD or MIT though?
Jaxson Gonzalez
No idea. BSD is a bit more complicated since there are so many versions of it, and different clauses.
Bentley Powell
Some Linux developers are hypocrites or don't actually care about freedom of software. Let them die on their hill, they'll be effectively barred from contributing to FOSS from now on for fear of revoking or threatening to revoke their contributions yet again.
Aiden Hall
Ah I see. You are an idiot.
Jack Reed
Now that is a reasonable answer. Thank you.

They're same by license terms, the point of ISC is that it is much shorter.

What did I miss?
Logan Moore
So it's about "muh minimalism"

>Implying retroactive revocation is a bad thing.
It's only bad if all your projects are written by other people
Mason Miller
what the fuck did I miss?
also, apache is best license
Jack Jones
Unironically this.
You code commies had a good run and made a decent program or two but RMS didnt account for this edge case where codebases get destroyed by outside actors using the current political climate as a weapon.
Luke Nguyen
imho opinion the MIT license looks fine; I use it for all my FOSS projects
Brayden Anderson
People will gladly do it when M$, Applel, and Gulag pay them fat stacks to sabotage the project. Everyone has their price.
Face it, we need a new license.
Gabriel Harris
Well it was picked by Openbsd for a reason.
It's not like MIT is that lenghty, but if you can have same thing in less words then why woldn't you want to
Matthew Parker
MIT is the only truly free license

What about BSD? BSD license is similar.
