Ubuntu 25.10’s transition to using Rust Coreutils in place of GNU Coreutils has uncovered a few performance issues so far with the Rust version being slower than the C-based GNU Coreutils. Fortunately there still are a few weeks to go until Ubuntu 25.10 releases as stable and upstream developers are working to address these performance gaps.
yes. that is why he is saying go with the gpl or at least if your adding code add it to gpl unless you are fine with your stuff being used but nothing coming back to the communities by others.
Emphasis mine.
Yeah I think you are just ignoring context. He means steal the way someone just taking advantage of the commons might be said to. Ugh he only comes to these things so he can steal away a bunch of pastries back to his pad. The language is to mean that the bsd license allows folks to steal while the gpl requires reciprocity.
The intent of the BSD licences is to allow you to do what you want without reciprocating though. It’s not an accident, it’s explicitly stated. It is, in fact, your right. You profiting from the work of others is an intended result.
I prefer GPL myself for this reason. But you can’t blame companies for obeying the terms of the licence.
But that is what he was actually saying. His comment was he would rather see it as gpl because mit effectively allows the hard work to be stolen like what we saw with apple and bsd. Hes not blaming apple he is just saying he would not have issue if it was gpl instead of mit. Again its like you have to look at the whole message and context for meaning rather than the strict definition of the one line.
It can’t be any sort of “theft” if you leave it on the curb with a sign saying “Free” next to it.
ugh. I feel like you did not read my reply. Im saying his use of the word theft should not be taken literally given the context of his statement. he was not looking to say apple stole code he was looking to say use gpl because otherwise corps get code and don’t contribute back.
It’s you who says it’s not a literal use. But I’m protesting even a figurative use since there is NO way the act is THEFT. I didn’t steal, in any sense, something that is given to me for free.
I don’t think you understand what the word figurative means.
