Contains allusions to immorality
@masterofthetiger@theres.life Indeed, even more disturbing to me is the thought that not only is source code open, but it _must_ be open, and anyone who refuses to share it will be compelled under force of law to do so (this is what the GPL does). The code is "free" perhaps, but the users and developers are not, which leads me to think that someone has put the cart before the horse with regard to what freedom in software means (or at least ought to mean).

Yes, if we must license our software (a notion that I dissent from), then let us choose the most permissive license possible, which is quite often the MIT.
It's even better however when projects like SQLite can publish everything public domain.
And that is precisely why i use the MIT license for my free software, not GPL.
This is at odds with the FSF philosophy, intentionally.
