Somebody out there REALLY hates the fact that 0BSD is successful, and seeks to undermine it at every opportunity:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Toybox&type=revision&diff=1031014292&oldid=1030207594 What POSSIBLE RELEVANCE does it have that toybox hasn't been under any license but 0BSD for eight years? That's longer than https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Compiler_Collection has been GPLv3 but that page doesnt' mention GPLv2 (or v1). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux doesn't say that releases before 0.1.2 were under a "no commercial use" license. The ONLY thing this can do is confuse people. And of course the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSD_licenses#0-clause_license_(%22BSD_Zero_Clause_License%22) page still calls 0BSD the Free Free Free as in Free Software is Not Open Source All Hail Richard Stallman Public License, despite me going back to the OSI mailing list and reminding them that they agreed to remove their mistake (which happened because a new person came onboard and reverted something without being aware of the history) so they fixed the osi page. (The license was both merged into android and approved by SPDX under the name zero clause bsd before it was ever _submitted_ to OSI under another name. OSI did not do their homework. I too am sorry that the Richard Stallman's greed destroyed copyleft, but if you break "the GPL" into warring camps where the linux kernel and samba can't share code anymore even though they implement two ends of the same protocol and are both GPL, it's gonna decline in popularity. LLVM exists entirely because gcc moved to GPLv3. Heck, the Samba maintainer has publicly stated he regrets the move to GPLv3, and said it was "rejected soundly". He gave a whole talk about it here: https://archive.org/details/copyleftconf2020-allison I strongly suspect the reason 0BSD gets blowback is it's SUCCESSFUL. It's passed 31,000 repositories licensed under it on github, and counting: https://github.com/search?q=license%3A0bsd&type=Repositories&ref=advsearch&l=&l= Rob _______________________________________________ Toybox mailing list Toybox@lists.landley.net http://lists.landley.net/listinfo.cgi/toybox-landley.net
