A license doesn't have to be copyleft to be FOSS. Stop trying to redefine things because you don't like them.
That's not what I did. Not all of Meshcore is FOSS. There are proprietary components. Therefore it's not fully FOSS.
Oh sorry, I thought "Meshcore is MIT" meant it was all MIT.
All good!
I still value GPL much higher than MIT, which is why I thought important for others to know, in case they have a preference too. But yeah, Meshcore is just not all open source and some people could also have a preference on that. 😄
