The text discusses the recent trend of companies adopting community licenses, such as Confluent's switch from Apache2 to their own Community License, and argues that these moves are not about promoting open source principles but rather about protecting business interests. The author criticizes copyleft licenses like AGPL and SSPL, which they believe represent an "evolutionary dead end" for software development, in favor of liberal licenses like MIT and Apache2, which allow for greater flexibility and community engagement. The author also suggests that permissive OSS licenses paired with closed commercial products is a more ideal approach for companies to commercialize open source projects, as it allows for the widest possible adoption and largest possible community.
