Aug 11, 2018 at 7:26 comment added Come-from-Beyond @AustinPowers Are you sure you don't mix open-source software and free software? Take a look at gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.en.html.
Aug 9, 2018 at 14:59 comment added Zauz There are various reasons for making software Open Source. Iota's reason was not "Here's the source code, feel free to copy it and make your own ICO" but rather reasons like "Here's the source code, we won't steal your money", "Here's the source code, feel free to improve it", etc. Why GNU GPL was chosen over others, I don't know. Maybe interesting new question?
Aug 9, 2018 at 14:59 comment added Zauz Company A invests 90$ in development and 10$ in marketing, Company B invests 10$ in development (= copying and refactoring stolen code from Company A) and 90$ in marketing. Company B is more successful. Developers (CFB in particular, I think) didn't want this to happen to Iota.
