alt Hacker NewsI'm not arguing about "there being more art"
I'm saying artists don't want anyone doing *the same art they do*
GPL ideal gives everyone ability to copy-paste and expand anything, with only obligation to allow everyone to do the same to you. Artists culture is far removed from that

even more than that, I see people arguing for MIT(!) to lessen the legal burden on fellow programmers
that's the kind of cultural difference I want to point out
> Artists culture is far removed from that
It’s not, particularly. Plenty of credited remixing, artistic references, echoes, parodies, pastiches, collaborations, licenses, rolling memes, all sorts of stuff. There’s quite a lot of CC0 stuff out there too.
The permissions (cultural or otherwise) are different depending on the reuse, but no artist minds a credited remix. People just don’t like theft.
