Comment on Ask HN: Is HN crowd a left-leaning?

Comments

Probably has something to do with smart technical people being attracted to free software, and then OSS, and then copyleft. the idea of writing code under gpl feels pretty left to me.

It is left, but it's also dead, relatively speaking. Everyone who's still writing free software is using MIT to make their code as widely used as possible (which often isn't very wide).

linux is gpl, not dead
