On permissive vs copyleft open source licenses: https://shazow.net/posts/permissive-vs-copyleft/

I break down all the ways copyleft licenses fail to achieve their state goals, and explain why permissive licenses succeed where copyleft fails.

It's a beast of an article, but I wanted to be comprehensive.

Finally got around to reading the full version of Andrey's argument in favour of permissive open source licenses. This is effectively a rebuttal to @vitalik.eth's recent blog post and I think they are both worth reading so you can make up your own mind.

Was expecting more pushback on Bluesky for this post (naively felt more copyleft coded to me) but it slayed with 18 reskeets, 60 likes, and supportive replies. Twitter didn't care at all, 4 likes. Time to see how Mastodon will react?

Do I have friends in Toronto? Because I'm playing in Toronto soon! It's my North America debut even! Couldn't be any happier that it's happening at the legendary Standard Time.

not to mention the culture/assumption rift that is going to happen when immobile pre-2013 coins (and more) are going to get burned in order to support a post-quantum migration, rugs the entire underpinning of eternal backwards compatibility that led the bitcoin roadmap to where it is.

it is very aligned with american culture to roll the dice, maybe self selecting for first time entrepreneurs?

Ah I feel that.

Hope there's more productive culture shifts in our near future.

Would you feel better about it if you were editing our everyone's faces? (Or if a camera did it for you)

the Canadian taxes are way less than I expected! I'd be happy to give up way more to be in Canada. Also several scenarios where California is higher than Canada, too.
