There are loads of BSD and MIT variants. But if this is a real objection why not settle on a specific version of the GPL, as Linux has done?

List of variants of BSD: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:BSD?rd=Licensing/BS...



Can you mix "v3 or later" code with v2 code? I think that's violation of copyright.


Does the toybox project mix their code with GPLv3+ code?

The weird argument above was that there are apparently too many variations of the GPL (even though there are many, many more BSD and MIT variants). So I said, stick to a single GPL variant. And then you ask if you can mix GPL versions together.


the argument was that there are incompatible variations of the gpl, in most cases those variations of MIT licenses can be mixed in any way
