How do I learn about what’s being discussed here? Why do I need a linker?
It has an introduction section on what is a linker and why you need one. The gist is, linker is the piece of software that puts together different source file, be it at compile time or runtime. So, the faster is your linker the quicker the app compiles and opens.

Rui has made it explicit that a commercial license is available. Hey Rui, you should replace "please call" with a dollar amount in order to increase your conversion rate ;)
I dislike "contact us for pricing" too, but pricing is hard! I don't know how much I should ask for. This is also a bit unusual business model because mold can be used for free. I'm happy if users pay me 10%-20% of the total cost they could save by using mold though.
Apple and Microsoft should really throw some money at Rui; Mold is a massive improvement to developer experience, and the sooner it's ported to their platforms the better. I find myself defaulting to Linux for Rust development these days, mostly because Mold makes the inner loop of development so much faster.

I sort of wish Apple, Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Facebook all contribute $200K each and say hey can you now make Mold MIT or BSD.

What's wrong with the current agpl license, especially for a linker?

Can you please share the link about how it helps in inner loop? Sorry, I never heard of these tools and google is not returning any useful results
