My hard line is open source. I don't use any proprietary solutions.
fully with you on that point
I feel it kinda depends on the tool, for Linux distro related I personally want GPLv2.0 as it's more likely to be supported longterm and might potentially be integrated into the Linux kernel due to license compatibility.
For tools that are new or have niche uses I prefer either Apache2.0 or MIT.
also just had a random thought:
does variety(differing license types) matter when it comes to the kind of thing someone is trying to create?
- like is there a theoretical optimal license for certain things?
