GPL2 was already that.

GPL3 was to force SaaS providers to open source server side software. It was too onerous and that's why Linus rejected it for the Linux Kernel.

Apple is the golden child for making open source the basis of your empire. MacOS is based on the FreeBSD kernel.

But let's not forget Android, it is a Linux kernel with proprietry stuff on top.

True, both gulag android and crapple ios are the true abusers of current laws. FreeBSD is loicensed as MIT if I remember correctly, hence a favorite among scumbag companies looking to build proprietary on top of open source foundation.

Playstation does this for instance, and this is were it gets more infuriating as games compiled for PS could easily be ported to Linux natively, yet all we get is steam and proton as many games force people to run pajeetsoft Windows.

Proprietary software makers are actively helping each others out, just like kikes to make sure a lot of software won't be available on open source platforms.

BSD stands for "Berkeley Software Distribution", the original BSD UNIX license was first written in 1969.

The MIT license crystallized with X11 release in 1987 but the modern text was approved by the OSI in 1999.
