Why I use the GPL and not cuck licenses

Don’t think my opinion has changed much since the last time this was posted on HN…

The GPL isn't strict enough now that everyone has a copyright laundering machine at their disposal.

I've been experimenting with adding a "translation" clause in accordance with the GPL paragraph 7, where if by means of automatically translating the project to a different language (by transpiling or machine learning) the license is retained, but not necessarily the copyright.

So far I'm not happy with the results by Claude and ChatGPT. Probably I should talk to a lawyer.

The GPLv3 was largely invented to prevent tivoization, we need GPLv4 now to prevent copyright laundering.

What’s wrong with MIT?

This important topic comes up regularly on HN. I think the current consensus here is that we should all be writing software for free for our capitalist overlords, but I'm not sure if it's still the case.

The cuckoldry analogy is very apt.
