Uuuugggh... no, license proliferation BAD. Seriously, did the world need yet another Copyleft license? Is there something they couldn&#x27;t find in the GPL, MPL, etc?<p>And &quot;For a limited time, husky 5 will be released under License Zero&#x27;s Parity License. It will be MIT again later.&quot;<p>What the heck? Who wants to use a project without a (relatively) stable license? To me, this is muddying the waters and making things confusing for no real reason. IF I were a Husky user, I&#x27;d probably drop it at this point.<p>I&#x27;m sure they have good intentions behind this move, but from a more pragmatic standpoint, this just doesn&#x27;t seem like a desirable thing to me.
