@hexaheximal case in point:
#Copyleft doesn't work in terms of getting #contributions or actual improvements.One can not really force people to do intellectual labour nor get them to share it!
But don't take my word for it, because @landley has been there and done that as the fmr. maintainer of #BusyBox and nowadays maintains a competing project (#toybox) licensed under #0BSD...

TBH I'm not against the #GPL, not even #GPLv3 because when you want to commit #AssetDenial it does that fine and I use it for that...But sadly #FLOSS doesn't exist in a vacuum and as much as I wished #CCSS to never have existed in the first place, it sadly does and worse people often depend on that shite...

So I do aim to #DoBetter instead... -
@landley The sad part is that you are in fact correct.
The only thing #Copyleft like #GPLv3, #AGPLv3 and espechally #AssholeLicensing of the #SSPL, #RHEL and #grsecurity kind can do is commit #AssetDenial and even that is flaky as one can only put actual #code under a license and not an implementation of something like a #Codec...
...But those are usually covered by #patents and other legalese trolling efforts, like the way #MELP / #MELPe is licensed so everyone who doesn't want to exclusively make a radio for NATO / U.S. DoD has to arrange a licensing deal woth half a dozen tech giants, so #Codec2 had to be made...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codec_2As of now I am considering to relicense my content under #0BSD and sinve very few of my projects have any external contributions, this should be trivial to do so.
