The current leaders of the LLVM project intend to keep it open.
They have also traded away a way to encourage others to keep it open in return for wider adoption.
Interpret that as you will.
- icebraining 12y agorms himself has "traded away a way to encourage others to keep it open in return for wider adoption" in the past. It's called being pragmatic. It's always fun to see people being more papist than the pope, though.
- tedks 12y agoYes, in some circumstances that's true. For example, recently I think it was a GNU codec library that was released under a permissive license, because there are plenty of proprietary video codec libraries and for a free format to win, a permissively-licensed library is useful. But Stallman put the GCC under the GPLv3. So I don't think your comments re: papacy are terribly on-point.

Leading is about getting people to go in a direction they may not want to go. Not pushing them off a cliff.
