A free society is one where people don't have restrictions. And guess what GPL has.

Contrary to popular belief, GPL is not free software. You can't add restrictions to something and call it "free as in freedom". A truly "free as in freedom" license is one you can't violate (BSD).

Well, both Copyright Holders and GPL Licensors want to enforce their license. But guess what. Piracy is a coin with two sides.. Thousands (millions?) of companies around the world use illegally obtained copies of software to make money. A dozen companies also violate the GPL. I don't understand what makes GPL so special and why it should be protected more than (C)..

And then good luck configuring them.. UniFi is plug and play. Mikrotik, while relatively easy, requires much more work.

You don't have to. You can do it much cheaper with Ubiquiti's products. EdgeRouter X + AP AC (Pro)

Countless UBNT deployments. Not a single problem ever. Only wish was they didn't restart after config change.

s/GPL/copyright/g and you get your answer.
