This is a very important point and a huge step forward in my opinion. The downside of MIT/BSD licenses is that companies can take and not give back. It doesn't build a community and commonly-shared property. Copyleft allows people to take and embrace, but if they extend they have to give back. Which is fair, you build it on their stuff... -- Tom Zander Blog: https://zander.github.io Vlog: https://vimeo.com/channels/tomscryptochannel _______________________________________________ bitcoin-dev mailing list bitcoin-dev@lists.linuxfoundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-dev
