          It works to make others dismiss you and your arguments - I’ll never take anyone seriously who decides to express themselves like this.

          i’ve never heard anyone refer to those licences with that term before now, and instantly made me shy away. it’s not only shock and awe, it’s a shitty take that plays on right-wing talking points to reframe “wanting to be useful to others” as something sexual. it’s the stupidest take i’ve never seen.

        Do you have a better description? I think “Cuck license” actually covers it very well: You build your bestest robotic waifu, when Intel-sama kicks in the door, and fucks her right in front of you, impregnating her, and then leaving and never coming back, leaving everyone a victim.

        Because that’s effectively what happened to Andrew Tanenbaum’s Minix kernel (which was used by intel to enable the Intel Management chip, which has even more control over your machine than your own CPU). Had Tanenbaum used GPL, intel would’ve been legally forced to open source the code, enabling us users to see what’s actually running inside.
