I ask this because I think of the recent switch of Ubuntu to the Rust recode of the GNU core utils, which use an MIT license. There are many Rust recodes of GPL software that re-license it as a pushover MIT or Apache licenses. I worry these relicensing efforts this will significantly harm the FOSS ecosystem. Is this reason to start worrying or is it not that bad?
IMO, if the FOSS world makes something public, with extensive liberties, then the only thing that should be asked in return is that people preserve these liberties, like the GPL successfully enforces. These pushover licenses preserve nothing.


That was what I was trying to communicate with my comment. It’s very difficult to provide the compile objects in rust, and dynamic linking deprives you of many of the benefits of using rust.
It introduces friction if you don’t want to open source your code. This friction will drive away many users. I want people to use my code, even in commercial products, so providing libraries in Apache or MIT just makes more sense for that goal. If you have another goal lgpl might be more inline.
