Oh. Like that. No. I wasn't spamming with Linux parts. I was sharing a different side to using copyleft licenses is all.
Since linux is one of the biggest examples of it, I was just sharing observations.
I never thought if ZFS were copyleft, and have no ideas why LF is against CDDL (whose licence inherited to Oracle after Sun)
10:02:26
@telegram_1026262977:t2bot.iounsungNovelty It's not LF actually. CDDL is incompatible with GPL:

@telegram_5467298023:t2bot.ioL. PiekhanovWe can see distros with full control, like void linux and gentoo, in which you actually build your kernel to the latest microdot of you wish13:00:30

BSD license is more permissive in the sense that it is one of the licenses that gives you maximum freedom.
While the copyleft license forces you to open source.

The interesting by product is BSDs has less corporate interference because it is permissive.
FreeBSD for example is not getting interfered cos the companies can take whatever they want and do whatever.
Apple, Playstation all can take whatever and do nothing.

The other side is Linux where since all the code needs to be open source.
So there is Linux Foundation run by corporations. Zero voice on the direction for an individual.

So licenses totally depends on your project and what you want to do with it.
The corporative interference point seems extremely exaggerated

Linux foundation is run or nudged by corporation because they don't go full copy left like all OS +kernel GPLv3 or parity license
70% of Linux Foundation members are GPL violators, so yes, the fact they pay membership fees probably gets them some form of unofficial legal protection

CDDL is copyleft, at a file level, as per its Wikipedia page.

Permissively licensed code, such as FreeBSD, gets along nicely with copyleft code, unlike other copyleft code

@telegram_1026262977:t2bot.iounsungNoveltySame goes for Rust foundation which is run by some of the same companies which run LF15:17:02
@telegram_1026262977:t2bot.iounsungNovelty @lpierra - I highly recommend you to read https://www.unsungnovelty.org/posts/05/2023/open-source-projects-and-non-profit-501c3-vs-non-profit-501c6/

There is a difference in OpenBSD / FreeBSD foundation which are public charities vs Linux Foundation.

I should rephrase. I accidentally used interference in one sentence. Its not interference. Its just that LF runs Linux org and decides a lot of the decisions. Its not interference. Its how LF works.
15:06:51
@telegram_1026262977:t2bot.iounsungNoveltyJust to clarify... am not saying that it is bad or good. Am just informing its controlled by companies. Thats all.15:27:17

I am not sure what you mean by this. Could you please clarify how that would change things?

Also its run by corporates. Not nudged. Its a Non-profit 501(c)(6) registered in the US. This is for business leagues. It operates for the foundation members. Not for the public or for charity.

LF pays Linus's salary as well.
What I was trying to say was if LF used GPLv3 for everything there will be little interest for corporates

The thing is even with a GPLv3 license they won't donate more if they don't want to.
They just won't use GPLv3. So it's working as intended.

I’m pro AI but FSF and Stallman are against AI
You clearly have no clue. Stallman worked in AI, before it was cool. In the 70s, at MIT.

AI didn't work so well back then. It took deep learning and LLMs and the like, to make today's AI somewhat useful

That arc AI was never publicized until 2010s

That was an issue of computing power, most of the research is really old
