it's worth stating publicly that copying people's code without attribution is plagiarism and is not cool.

yes, even if you don't respect the people who wrote it.

yes, even if the license nominally lets you (but it is likely that is *not* the case because it muddies the copyright information of the file. i am not, however, a lawyer).

@leftpaddotpy I'm a little (pleasantly) surprised to discover that both #Lix and #CppNix are licensed with #LGPL. I guess I got the idea that it was #MITlicence since that's what #NixOS uses.

lix

A modern, delicious implementation of the Nix package manager, focused on correctness, usability, and growth — and committed to doing right by its community

Lix Systems

@mcrocker Lix can't not be LGPL since it is a CppNix fork.

I think some debates were had a long time ago, probably, that led to this current license selection, but it is never really going to change, for the somewhat self-evident reasons of "it can't".
