Yes, I'm a very easy target for ad hominem attacks. My interest in Nim hasn't 
moved beyond theoretical in 7 years. Guilty as charged. But does that 
invalidate all of my points?

Maybe tomorrow you'll change your license to "No Libmans Allowed". 😛

Good, kudos, thank you. But if it was under "Apache2 || MIT" it would have been 
better for some minority of people.

Again, Apache isn't a top concern. This discussion thread is primarily about 
the aforementioned "no capitalists" / "no Trump supporters" licenses. (And if 
they were opposite in their political orientation I would still be concerned.) 
It's a "threat" to Nim having a competitive advantage in the [attributes of 
freedom](https://voat.co/v/programming/2853775) I've been talking about.

That means some people cannot use those libraries, because that "probably" is a 
liability. Do you take every pill you find on the ground because it's 
"probably" not harmful?

This emergence of ever-more-restrictive licenses (which I've predicted) is 
still worth discussing. That's what this thread is for.
