The main reason I see that people use MIT or more permissive licenses is that they want to use the software in commercial applications without having to give back to the open source community. … Well put Dale, my thoughts exactly. When I read the original post my thought was “the only programmers who hate the GPL are the ones who want to steal code”. If the original poster wants a text editor project on Github that doesn’t contain “old code” and that uses a different license, then perhaps he should write one himself.
