A very permissive license is > much better for that imo. my understanding is, MPL is non-viral, it does not infect other code, it only applies to the code itself and vendor-ed copies. in Fact its per design even weaker than LGPL, since it allows inclusion without viral extension. > >> A second point that does look problematic is the limitation in branching >> models, >> however after poking Pieter Hintjens on the reason he promptly >> pointed me to >> >> http://zguide.zeromq.org/page:all#Git-Branches-Considered-Harmful > > This is the only thing I agree with, feature branches belong to forks. > The main repository should only contain released and agreed on > upcoming stuff. > >> http://hintjens.com/blog:106 >> >> I found myself agreeing with those 2 items, as well as a lot of the >> followup of the zguide. > > I don't like this approach at all. can you pinpoint what about the approach strikes you? i find it practical, since upon reflection i realized it pretty much works effectively against various of my own biases/mistakes and mis-behaviours. In particular wrt value judgments. would it help if i created a more detailed blog post about my findings?
