    Yes, permissive licensing instead of copyleft is bad. Things like Alpine and Busybox exist mostly to allow corporations to exploit Linux without giving back to the community, build user-hostile Tivoized devices, etc.

      GPLv2 does the same. Linus Torvalds explicitly said he’s fine with that and disapproves the GPLv3 for this very reason.

      I guess you use an OS with a GPLv3 kernel then? Hurd?
