Licenses are so subjective to a project and the developers opinions that I mostly stopped caring. I have my reasons and people have ther own. Everyone weighs pros/cons differently, nuance and world view. 

I think both of those licenses are great. I use plenty of CC license projects and the developers are great people (mjanson and rpmalloc for example.)  

>someone else using it would be an honor
I completely agree! 

 i just flat out do not want someone patenting my literal work

the rest idgaf, if i made something useful that someone can make more hay from good, it's between them and God whether they give me some credit for my work 

 Yeah totally! 

In my case I like the added step, of what I believe is protecting my users. People using tools that involve my software should always have access to the source code and ability to modify it if they see fit, or get it directly from me if they want to. If it's software I or my community developed, people should have access to it. I do understand the economics of that being difficult in some cases though, but I think it's worth it.  

 public domain guarantees that the same as GPL

i prefer it to just be public domain because businesses see it as a utility instead of a rentseeking opportunity that is being "DENIED" 

 Legit question. How does public domain guaruntee that corps who modify my code and ship it to users will ensure access to my source code for users if they want it?  

 i've always done that too, put my stuff out as MIT licensed or CC0, glad if it's useful to someone, i don't particularly want to add any burdens
i hate intellectual property restriction shenigans to such a degree, i didn't even want to use them for good
but i absolutely understand why people use (L)GPL licenses 

 yeah, it's really stupid though

the worst thing is patents... the more things we invent and public domain the less things can patent 

 i have noticed i've become more hesitant to share and open source things since the CSW case, it really felt like being punished for trying to do a good thing 

 why though? because being visible makes you a target?

that's silly, you will never make an impact on the world if nobody saw it 

 Tell that to Satoshi 

 use a cutout if U feel the need/that means p2p with a fren or boomer who just doesn't care & will volunteer for the frontlines, betr equipped ffs/lol
