GPL makes sure that the code remains open. Seems like these new gen devs are against open source.

It pisses me off because I'm also the author of a rewrite-in-Rust project (though it's more than that, and yes I now use agents though I didn't at the start) and I specifically chose [A|L]GPL for it to protect the IP of the asset and because it felt like the most ethical choice.

I removed it but I added that I hate these people. :P So yeah, it pisses me off, too.

"Don't hate the player, hate the game" as they say.

People want to get paid. They perceive the GPL as getting in their way.

Or, as it is also said: “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”

s/open source/free software

They love open source when it means they can steal from the public and then privatize it later with their VC funded startup, much in the same way Microsoft "loves" Linux [when you run it on Azure, or in WSL]

What they are against is free/libre software that prevents their grifting.

Yeah, pretty much. :)
