We may not know where the fishhook (or razor blade) is, but after fourty years of experience, we know there is one.

Yeah, the good ol' MIT-license fishhook.

[a1369209993]

That's a bit vague; do you mean MIT-licence-then-patent-troll, or MIT-licence-then-charge-for-security-updates, or MIT-licence-then-lots-of-'optional'-extras, or ...?

I think they were being sarcastic, pointing out that MIT licenses make poor fish-hooks. TypeScript wasn't fish-hooked, why would this be?
