@Elucidating well, #AGPLv3 and #GPLv3 demand things that are often not legally possible, like providing free and perpetual licenses to #patents and #tech adjacent to it.
That - among many other considerations, is why #Linux is #GPLv2only!
If you want to commit #AssetDenial, then #GPLv3 & #AGLv3 is for you but I've run that experiment too and it doesn't get any more contributions out of people than #0BSD.
Now you may think my shitty little projects like @OS1337 & #NUCbook don't count and that is valid, but @landley did maintain #BusyBox and he did the test as well and all the #litigation and #enforcement resulted in 0 lines of #code being contributed back to BusyBox...
And the folks behind #Samba now regret going GPLv3...

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] Linus Torvalds explained his dislike of GPLv3 here: https://youtu.be/PaKIZ7gJlRU Jeremy Allison (The Samba maintainer) gave a half hour talk on how much he now regrets moving to GPLv3 here: https://archive.org/details/copyleftconf2020-allison (Samba usage fell off a cliff when it went gplv3: Linux created ksmbd in the kernel, and Apple created smbx explicitly because gplv3: https://www.osnews.com/story/24572/apple-ditches-samba-in-favour-of-homegrown-replacement/ ) When GCC went GPLv3 development on LLVM took off, etc. Dozens of examples..
