I ask this because I think of the recent switch of Ubuntu to the Rust recode of the GNU core utils, which use an MIT license. There are many Rust recodes of GPL software that re-license it as a pushover MIT or Apache licenses. I worry these relicensing efforts this will significantly harm the FOSS ecosystem. Is this reason to start worrying or is it not that bad?
IMO, if the FOSS world makes something public, with extensive liberties, then the only thing that should be asked in return is that people preserve these liberties, like the GPL successfully enforces. These pushover licenses preserve nothing.
I am making an argument that copyleft licenses such as GPL are better than permissive ones because of the extra guarantees, primarily to the benefit to communities instead of corporations.
You on the other hand are making a false equivalence.

This is what you wrote:
The false equivalence is that because i desire communities to be the primary beneficiary of my code and its modifications, then i must also “… you do not want the Open Source version anymore. You only want theirs.”
These are not equivalent. You have begun using a logical fallacy. More elaboration of my arguments will be fruitless. Good bye.
