如果唯一的库是闭源的,那么就会有项目去做一个开源的。

如果唯一的库是 GPL 的,那么就会有项目去做一个非 GPL 的。

如果最好的库采用 MIT、Boost、new-BSD 或公有领域许可,那么我们就可以停止重复编写它。

我不怀疑 GPL 对操作系统而言是一种很好的许可证,尤其是因为它允许非 GPL 代码与操作系统交互。对于较小的项目,我认为对闭源接管的担忧被夸大了。

If the only library is closed source, then there's a project to make an open source one.

If the only library is GPL, then there's a project to make a non-GPL one.

If the best library is MIT, Boost, new-BSD or public domain, then we can stop re-writing it.

I don't question that GPL is a good license for operating systems, especially since non-GPL code is allowed to interface with the OS. For smaller projects, I think the fear of a closed-source takeover is overdone.
