It doesn't carry any weight, it's just a label. It's like the difference between open source and free software. They are just definitions made by someone. You can write any license you want (but get a lawyer). The concrete problems is that this license with the no-Trump-supporters clause will not be compatible with most of the license that most people think when someone talk as a open source or free software. So for most people this will not be open source or free software. (I'm not a lawyer, so please get someone to review my opinions.) * You can't copy code from GPL/LGPL licensed software to your project, and someone else can't copy code from your project to a GPL/LGPL project. This is important if you are planning to copy any code from a GPL/LGPL library. * You can copy code from MIT/BSD licensed software to your project, but someone else can't copy code from your project to a MIT/BSD project. Hey, you can even copy code from a MIT/BSD to a project that has a license that allow to use it only for evil purposes, like killing kitties. IANAL. |
