Wayland is not under such licences. It uses the MIT license.


I think bad_user is talking about Mir: it's licensed under GPLv3 [1].


My point was more that license was no reason, Wayland already has a good license. Mir is first under a different license to then require a special CLA to be able to license it differently. In Wayland everyone has the same rights.


I am in complete agreement with you. I don't see any reason for Mir other than Canonical choosing to go their own route in an attempt to persuade businesses to buy commercial licenses for it.
