I think it's funny to call an unrestricted right to use an implicit license. If you buy off the shelf software w/ that, what would it mean?

I think Apache is great. I don't think we're helping by spreading FUD about whether the most popular OSS (MIT) license is acceptable

Genuine question: do my worries about the MIT implicit patent license count as FUD for you?

No. I think conversations are always fine. Comments like "oh ho ho now you're suddenly fine with XYZ" are unhelpful.

Cool. I've tried to be clear that my concerns probably don't really matter in the real world, but that doesn't always come across on Twitter
