Hey Seth - what is your steel man for why Coinkite have chosen to do things this way?
You've taken a very particular hard-line FOSS-maximalist position and also implied the MIT license is strongly **...
They chose this path because it helps them build a legal moat around their products instead of compete in the free markets.
MIT-CC is *very* different and a complete 180 from MIT itself, just to be clear here.
ColdCard uses MIT-CC which is a restrictive "source-viewable" license and not open-source at all.
The only benefit to their license choice is protecting the company at the harm of the broader ecosystem.
