The success of FOSS can in large part be attributed to copyleft licenses like the GPL. Without the protections of copyleft clauses, software just gets exploited by large corporations and end users are locked out. For just one example, if GNU software had used MIT, the entire free router movement (i.e ddwrt, openwrt and co.) would probably not exist today.

See: Free Software Foundation, Inc. v. Cisco Systems, Inc..

Edit: actually, I think by the time of this specific lawsuit, the sources for wrt54g were already released after community pressure, this article details the history a bit better.

Well the rust project is MIT licensed, so definitely not.

You can still install custom ROMs, I’m running one right now. They make you wait a week to unlock the bootloader, however it seems there’s a possibility of that going away in the future, it’s not very clear.

But also, seeing as the phone is using a mediatek chip, your custom ROM support will be limited.
