I've noticed two things I tend to do in the post-AI world:
1. Take away as much stuff as I can. Not sick level but if something is not necessary to hang on Internet, I'll tend to delete.
2. Prefer GPLv3 over any other license in situations where I otherwise might have used MIT/Apache.

So I guess:
1. GPLv3 > Closed Source
2. Closed Source > Apache/MIT
Like as of 2025. From governance standpoint. E.g. *BSD operating systems are very badly AI governed. Maybe they would need a more restrictive license (something between GPL and BSD) because reality is what it is.

pinkforest@hachyderm.io@jarkko people need to pay for the art rather than hiding the art. printing presses didn't need restrictive license but people appreciated something they had to pay something for.

@pinkforest Yeah, take these with a great of salt. Not 100% serious.
If I think product business for a smaller company, I think AGPL is actually quite good deal overall, over proprietary, for stuff in the web. This is what Signal does for their backend. Then the evidence of legit use and also unfair use get best exposure.

@pinkforest I personally buy my music from Bandcamp rather than stream it from Spotify so doing at least in that sense my part :-) And still buy printed books etc.
