| schestowitz | I wish this made more sense to me, can someone help decipher this to someone who lacks context? | Aug 24 11:19 |
| schestowitz | I'm always working on open source code and Linux but I have to be honest, I really don't understand the licensing outside of the very basics. | Aug 24 11:19 |
| schestowitz | My understanding of why this might be bad for open source is that it means, code might end up being littered with GPL and Non-GPL contributions? | Aug 24 11:19 |
| schestowitz | But would that actually be possible if the project where the contribution is made is GPL? | Aug 24 11:19 |
| schestowitz | Thanks in advance! | Aug 24 11:19 |
