I propose a new name and splash screen for XMPP: Jerry Springer IM. The fastest and most efficient way to argue on the internet. The last man who talks shit but ragequits fast wins a ThinkPad X60 with a free Marlboro odor and dodgy eBay battery.

@Pawlicker I remember back on 8chan/tech/, they took the whole "cuck license" meme to the absolute extreme that they wouldn't even USE software licensed under a permissive license. Like nobody realized that you can still use the original version even if there are proprietary forks.

retards.
why would you even care about propietary forks? just use what you like and think is cool

@mischievoustomato @Pawlicker I can only guess that they assume that using a BSD/MIT/ISC/zlib/PD licensed program implies that you support the practice of using said licenses. But if that's the case, then you can simply just not contribute any code and not donate any more to the project. You could also just fork the software and release it under the GPL or any other copyleft license.
