I may just be being dumb here, but what is a pushover license?
2 comments

A licence which grants you rights to the software, but allows you to strip them away in derivative works. This is in contrast to (for example) copyleft, which requires you to share with your users the same code and rights that you got to use, when distributing derivative works.
Presumably a derogatory way of describing a permissive license, rather than a copyleft one.

It's a religious disagreement.
