Hmm yeah but that's the thing, who really cares about licenses as a user? I certainly don't. It's just some stuff that some lawyers fuss over. I don't read EULAs either nor would I even consider obeying them. The whole civil-legal world is just something I ignore.

I do have a feeling that Linux users in general care more about the GPL which is quite specific of course. Though I wonder if anyone chooses Linux for that reason.

But really personally I don't care whether companies give anything back, if anything I would love less corporate involvement in the OS I use. It was one of my main reasons for picking BSD. The others were a less fragmented ecosystem and less push to change things constantly.



I feel the same way. The way people talk about how ZFS is incompatible with Linux feels like debates over religious doctrine.
