I'm sorry but if you think 99% of people here would consider this an acceptable approach to licensing I think you have a weirdly low opinion of this forum:

> We thought the license in the root repo wasn’t that important, so we just generated one that we thought was open.

No part of this sentence makes any sense to anyone remotely informed about licensing.




“making the same mistake” doesn’t equal “considering it an acceptable approach”

the reaction was attributing it to malice, when it obviously was incompetence

that should have been 1 tweet or github issue opened asking them to change it, and it would have been corrected or not. firestorm if they didnt take it seriously

instead of whatever all this drama was pre-emptively
