Haha. I work on Solvespace which is technically inferior to FreeCAD, which is also inferior to the big commercial offerings. We shall have our MVP in a few more years! Most our contributors would not be working on it under an MIT license. I certainly would not.
Most users and contributors put the functionality above copyleft. You are a minority. The article doesn't imply that you don't exist. It implies that copyleft projects such as yours will be largely pushed out of the mainstream. And that it will happen even faster when a project is clearly inferior and can't offer anything that's not offered by a permissive project that can be used anywhere without legal headaches. Such permissive projects will always spead and develop faster, all other things being equal
