The projects I work on are small enough that I don’t care if someone makes big private improvements and refuses to share them. I can see how much larger projects like Linux would disagree though. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/bsd">bsd</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/licensing">licensing</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/linux">linux</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/mit">mit</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/open-source">open-source</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/yehuda-katz">yehuda-katz</a></p>
