ITT: People who didn't read the article, argue how GPL would make this business model impossible, not realizing code in the article is AGPL licensed. smh, I expected better from HN.
The trouble with comments like this is that they make the thread even worse by amplifying what they're complaining about (and adding a layer of meta on top).
It's much better to dampen bad stuff by downvoting/flagging it and/or amplify good stuff by contributing interesting things.
