Changing the Ungit license from MIT to Faircode

This thread and the culture of those replying to it fascinate me. Do you really enjoy spending this much time debating licenses, clauses, and legal matters?

I personally, just have to many more important things to do than worry about and waste time on compliance, laws, enforcement. It just seems like such a rediculous waste of time.

I just 2 clause BSD license my code and move on. Compensate me, don't compensate me, I'm busy writing other code, or designing systems, etc

Do people people posting replies here really spend this much time on licensing issues instead of producing?

It just seems so needless to me.

I would love to continue producing the rest of my life, without concern for licenses and business. Unfortunately I am running out of savings and will not be able to spend even 20% of my time producing. So I am in support of finding some way of getting a living wage for the software I lovingly produce for free.

Licensing is the difference between building on bedrock or quicksand. The profession has wasted millions of hours on rewrites of stuff that already existed but was entombed in failed projects.
