I guess I fail to appreciate the burden of having to write code to benefit users at all levels of skill and financial capacity.

Sorry.

@🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱 History has shown the GPL not to be a significant limitation to software development. Linux dominates servers. You can even build locked up systems like Android with it. Wine switched to GPL because of companies make closed source forks. OpenOffice has languished under the Apache license while LibreOffice thrives with GPL. You may not like GPL and want people to use MIT or other license but it really isn't a big problem.

@dulsi You have to keep in mind GPL doesnt even allow you to link to it as a library from non-GPL code. If you have a permissive licensed codebase (As is the majority in the OSS community now) chances are unless you went through every library you link to, then the libraries they link to and all the way up the tree and checked that every single dependency doesnt have a single GPL element in it... well unless you did that you are probably in violation. If you did then you probably found yourself in license hell.
