You can sell GPL licensed software. You don't have to publish the source code publicly online.

You still own the code you release under GPL. the restriction you are describing is actually caused by the non-copyleft licences you claim to prefer. If you choose to use MIT, you are limiting which libraries you can use. If you had picked GPL to begin with, you can use any library.
Copyleft licences are the only true free software licences. All other open source licenses are just proprietariable.
Before cars, people would rice their rice carts.
This is a great insult to pigs.
I know it is an unpopular opinion, but it is a huge headache in general. I don't think the theoretical benefits (which make total sense) actually pay off in reality and are worth the extra headache. I'm not saying they should not have it at all, but it should be at least opt-out instead of forced.
In the case of github, I think it is part of their long drawn out plan of data collection and proprietary lock down. Next they are going to require your house address and government ID. I feel better using an free and open source platform anyway.
I'm just migrating away from github because of this. Sr.ht is looking promising.
Capitalism should be authoritarianism and bottom text should be "why doesn't communication work?".
Emacs has a proper gui by default. You have to give it option to make it run in the terminal.
"save" is a bit of misnomer. The animals are forcibly bred into a life of pure suffering. That is what they are being saved from. The less demand for animal torture, the less the industry needs to breed.
proprietariable just means the code can be taken and rerelased as proprietary (no freedoms all rights reserved).
