I really feel like I should have bought a phone 2 years ago… Mine is now 6 years old and I hate everything that is happening to android sine version 11(i’m on 10)

For the same reason Windows is more popular, the proprietary ones will be more popular. Then comes Embrace, Extend and Extinguish. They add things that are only in their version. Apps uses it forcing reimplementation in original(open) version or breaking compatibility with it( I think thats how Google+ or something made XMPP kinda obsolete )

We might be onto different goals here. I want majority of people adopt Free software, rather than just me personally living with it only(which create more problems for me).

The thing about permissive licensing is that ptoprietary softwares get whatever they need from open source and whatever they do with it is unavailiable back to open source which is one way free labour for them

It is more of like understand, beware, and avoid going in that direction. They are legally allowed to do it, but its still bad…

Which also means Microsoft™ coreutils will always be “better” for general public. Yeah you are talking about open source, but this is more about Free Software ideology

Lua, node.js, jQuery

Programming languages and other developer tools are very much less affected by this, since being open source is mostly a requirement for a programming language in most people’s eyes. I wouldn’t even learn a proprietary programming language when there are open ones. Being proprietary make it lose its appeal very much.

About peoprietary X11 and wayland… For whom are companies making them for? Linux users? Do you think any distro will switch to it? But i’m pretty sure most companues copy parts of code from such projects to use in theirs.

I gave Aosp- Vendor Android and chrome-chromium as examples in the beggining. Also if only linux kernel was GPLv3, android would be way more proprietary bloat free.

Unfortunately companies have even done this exact same thing even with GPL, illegally, and got away with it because open source devs usually can’t bother to file lawsuits to companies in another country

Because Godot is already quite ibferior to its proprietary alternatives, atleast in popularity. If godot was The game engine that everyone uses, proprietary ones will come and try to have it. They can have all the godot features as well as something new from their side

MIT is terrible if it replaces current GPL projects. Companies will always provide their spyware infested proprietary version of the exact same thing which have one or two additional features, making open source software always behind rhe propruetary counterparts. See: Chromium->Google Chrome, Aosp->any Android os vendor

GNU Coreutils have worked very well for so long so replacing it is totally pointless unless memory safety has crippled the project somehow till now.

Also I really hate that project for another reason - License

When i’m in the most unnecessary competition and my opponent is rust coreutils:
