Why not combine all three?

Introducing: OpenLibreSPANK! It stands for "Spank Proudly Ain't Not Kinky"!

I was going to say I play Factorio which is fairly new until I looked up when it entered early access... :/

The difference with llvm is that nobody is selling a hosted llvm as a service, nobody is making money off llvm without contributing back (directly, I know a bunch of companies use llvm to make a product that makes money).

Redis clearly thinks that using the BSD licence was a mistake. I agree with you, using BSD attracted more people/companies to use it than if they had chosen AGPL, that's the trade-off you make when choosing a copyleft licence.

I think I agree with you on a lot of this, let me know if this is a fair summary of your argument:

Permissive and copyleft licences both have advantages and disadvantages, if a project chooses a permissive licence then that's their choice, and if they later decide to re-license then the project will probably get forked and carry on under the original licence, so as a user you can just switch to the fork and the only thing that will is the name of the package you install.

That seems pretty reasonable to me, let me know if I made any mistakes summarising your point.

The caveat I would add to that is that the project shouldn't complain about freeloaders if they choose a licence that explicitly allows freeloading. They chose a permissive licence for its advantages but they won't accept the consequences that come with that decision.

Btw this happened in February 2020 nearly 6 years ago.

Except they didn't relicence to AGPL initially, they switched to dual licensing under the RSALv2 (a proprietary licence) and SSPLv1 (a non open source, non-free licence). So essentially they made it proprietary, that's what everyone was annoyed about. If they went straight to AGPL I'm sure there would've been some people who were annoyed, but most developers would understand why and I doubt there would have been the valkey fork.

But only if you say you're using them to train an AI

Bunch of right wing stuff, some anti vax stuff, the usual

Ironic considering C# was supposed to be very similar to Java

That's literally the rhetoric that the Republican party used about the 2020 election that ended with the January 6th riot. Do you honestly think that if there was evidence of voting interference that the democrats wouldn't go to court over it? Or even share the evidence?

This kind of election interference speculation erodes trust in democracy and is part of what led to the January 6th thing. Not saying that's what you're trying to do, just that it's a precursor to that kind of stuff.
