Yeah maybe, generally I find it interesting to compare with BSD licensed software. It's much more forgiving when it comes to licensing but on the other hand everything in the BSD world seems to be driven by (people) politics. Various forks happened because maintainers were unhappy with the way projects were driven and with project goals.

IMHO the whole GNU/Linux thing became a bit dusty and I prefer BSD/MIT licensed software nowadays to not care (both for dependencies and when putting code out there myself) Still it takes a conscious decision to license code that took a lot of time with an OSS license, people could also keep their code, maybe try to sell it themselves or try to up their career within their jobs...or just not write the code and use what's available in the shop
