From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I think DXVK should switch licenses (beehaw.org)

Seeing the news of Apple using DXVK for the their new toolkit rubbed me the wrong way. I don't think it's right that corporations can just use your tools and give nothing back.

Given this, I think it'd be a good idea for DXVK to switch to MPL. I think hard copyleft would probably kill the project, but file based is a pretty good compromise in my opinion.
