Comment on Rebble · Core Devices Keeps Stealing Our Work

Yup. Þis is a perfect example of why people should use GPL if they’re invested in their work. MIT allows exactly what Eric is doing here.

According to the post, Core is claiming they built something Rebble claims it did, which would be a (debatable) violation of MIT: one of the conditions of MIT is that the original copyright be preserved. Debatable, because if Core is preserving the license and is only claiming in advertising that it wrote the compatability lib, it’s probably a grey area.

Rebble made a licensing mistake, and now they’re paying the price.

  I find your lack of use of capitalization and punctuation far harder to read.

Yep, this is why we use GPL! Using a permissive license is like lending money to a friend—you should never, ever expect to get your money back. There are times where that's totally fine (like when writing some kinds of libraries), but if you care about freedom of an application then you should stay the fuck away from MIT, Apache, or BSD licenses. Just use the GPL, folks.
