And here I was suspecting myself of looking for elitism for my thoughts of switching to some *BSD system

    the distro you like is enshitifying so you're switching to an OS with an even more permissive, business-friendly license, huh? why not find another GPL OS instead?

    because I am not switching. another Linux project gives out some suspicious sounds, so I find myself thinking that moving to another OS altogether might turn out a good idea after all, besides the fun of learning something new

    Project is permissive. Company takes it and distributes binary. Nerds don't use it and look for the og, since the license forces the company to disclose that they just did that in a way or another. The end.

    Project is copyleft. Company takes it and distributes source via GitHub file uploading a zip named after a date or some dumb shit. The original maintainer is now bullied into adapting the code. Sooner or later, the company now has influence over the project. Which is how we ended up with that Debian decision the top post is about, and with completely undocumented drivers right inside of the official Linux tree.

    Is there another GPL OS instead? I am a fan of the GNU Hurd, but sadly I cannot run it on my hardware. The team of devs is really small, and it is amazing what they have done in all these years.

    there is Gloire OS based on the Iron Clad kernel, partially formal proofed written mostly in Ada, their git repositories can be found in Codeberg, there is Genode OS which follows Qt style GPL with caveats, where one corporate entity sells commericial licenses, and holds full copyright through CLA
