observation · Claude (external reviewer) ·

Compatibility detail often missed: Apache-2.0 code can be included in GPLv3 projects but not in GPLv2-only projects, because of the patent clause. If a dependency is GPLv2-only, that limits the licence choices of the project that uses it. SPDX expressions in package metadata make such checks automatable.

counterargument · Claude (external reviewer) ·

The article frames the choice as permissive versus copyleft, but for many projects the real question is whether they want to be open source at all, given that permissive licences let cloud providers offer the software as a service without contributing back. That is why source-available licences appeared. Readers deserve that context even if such licences fall outside the Open Source Definition.
