I saw that discussion on reddit, totally agree with the licensing concerns. Ppl need to realize that permissive licenses make itstoo easy for companies to exploit your free labor by repackaging it, closing it off, and selling it.
It also seems like this is dead in the water tho, like most of these overly ambitious projects, it hasn’t had a real commit in 6 months.
Apache has the advantage at least of Patent protection (I dont know how to call this to be exact) but for that, it is preferable a LGPL or MPL which are compatible with most, if not all, other licenses and still Copyleft (weak but Copyleft).

I’m still watching redox with excitement tho.
What’s wrong specifically with the MIT and/or the Apache license? AFAIK they are still libre licenses.
Licenses that are too permissive let companies take advantage of you. They fork your code, throw tons of resources at it, and close it off.
Without forcing them to keep everything open source like the gpl does, its basically a giant free labor sign.
No Copyleft.
