Can _you_ explain why do _you_ think someone loosing interest in the project because of its license choice is bizarre?

What makes _your_ "I don't care about licensing, and neither should you" opinion not bizarre, and his "I don't care about projects with wrong license" bizarre?

I agree that parent comment didn't add much to the discussion, but that's not the reason to imply bizarreness of it.

If it's a project that interests or is useful to me, then personally that trumps the license. If I discover a project useful to my workflow then I'll find a way to work with it, despite the license.

Because it's my opinion and I generally don't find my opinions bizarre, otherwise I wouldn't hold them.

And I didn't say "I don't care about licensing, and neither should you" or even insinuate that.

He's more than welcome to care more about a license over a usefulness of piece of software and I'll still find it odd.
