That's EXACTLY why we need Copyleft. We need to push forward and show that companies and products can be built around licenses like the GPL. For instance, sourcehut (AGPL) is one of the most promising examples of a company built around a complete free and open-source ecosystem, and which truly enforces and contributes more and more towards this goal.
That's really cool! I knew that sourcehut is aiming to be a fully free replacement for platforms like GitHub, but had wrongly assumed it to use a permissive license. One more good example of a business around copyleft free software (maybe we should keep a list!)
Can you elaborate what you mean my depoliticization? It sounds vaguely interesting but I can't quite put a finger on what you're saying.I think this is all deeply related to how we structure ourself as society and depoliticization of the free software movement. I hope it made sense, I wrote in a bit of a hurry while writing proprietary software for companies that literally throw thousands of pesticides in my country's food.
