I used to think that in terms of licenses, AGPL > GPL > BSD and now it turns out that OpenBSD rises to the slop challenge and Linux does not. This post brought to you because of rsync now being open slopware, apparently, and openrsync is not. https://github.com/kristapsdz/openrsync

@alex Whatever the structure, individuals can still choose to go against it. I'm not convinced that this ordering of licenses doesn't still hold from a structural standpoint, but I am seeing, in this moment, greater spine and moral fiber in the BSDs regardless.

I always thought of BSD/MIT the "if you love something set it free" license.
