i’ve never heard anyone refer to those licences with that term before now, and instantly made me shy away. it’s not only shock and awe, it’s a shitty take that plays on right-wing talking points to reframe “wanting to be useful to others” as something sexual. it’s the stupidest take i’ve never seen.
You have the link to the guy’s blog, go shout that at him.
He’s proposing the GPL instead of these licenses, not exactly selfish. I don’t think the issue is being useful. Is complaining After people used your license as per its terms.
what he’s complaining about is called Open Source. the entire point of Open Source is to be an alternative to the GPL because people found its terms too strict to work with. ignoring years of history for the sake of a gotcha term with misogynist connotations is shitty.
You’re getting way too worked up against an internet stranger. Maybe take some time to appreciate what’s good around you and get into a better headspace.
And I strongly disagree cuck has any misogynist connotations, but that’s way beside the point.

nah, i can compartmentalise just fine. internet strangers occupy a very small part of my day. licensing more so.
i could do a whole paragraph about my rationale on the term but i have a feeling it would benefit neither of us so i won’t spend the energy.
