Linux. Systemd. GNU. YaST. Git. Blender. These are all programs under the GPL, and the reason they are so successful is because of the defense that copyleft provides against proprietary software. In short, no. Not dead in the water.
While parent post may be overstating , GPL does hinder software adoption now days.

Taler uses various *GPL3+ licenses, including parts under AGPL3+ Linux, Systemd, Git, and Blender are all (L)GPL v2, and none are AGPL. There are thousands of open source projects I could name that are far reaching and have enormous success, released under permissive licenses such as Apache, BSD, MIT, etc. If the system wasn't so fucked I'd down vote you.
Wow, what a feature ...

Noted. Good to know that people have forgotten how hard the free software community had to fight to be able to even have free software. I don't understand the sudden amnesia when Microsoft releases one part of their stack under the MIT license while still enslaving users. It's doublethink.
Is that really how you see the software world, GPL vs Microsoft/proprietary?
So, semver is great and all, but 0.0.x releases just look silly, in my opinion. I've never seen someone zero index the least significant column before though, which makes it look even worse. Would people actually expect w piece of software marked as version 0.0.0 to be anything more than a placeholder?

GPL'ed. Dead in the water. But it looks interesting. Good luck guys!
