same (nprofile…75kp) barely anyone seems to acknowledge that GNU failed in its initial goal, which was to force companies to release their code under GPL (because the tidal wave of high quality software licensed under GPL would be irresistible), and instead drove a large number of developers and corpos away from open source entirely.
