FOSS is political

And if you accuse anticapitalist licenses of having “political motives” without acknowledging that, say, the GPL *also* has political motives, it kind of seems like you don’t actually care that they’re political. You just don’t like that they’re not *your* kind of political.

(Anyway, this whole conversation is dumb. If you’re opposed to licenses that don’t allow corporate use, don’t use software licensed under those terms. No one is holding a gun to your head and forcing you to install Yet Another Text Editor licensed under the Everyone Except Google Can Use This license.)
