alt Hacker News> Difftastic wins on license. MIT vs AGPL.
I'm a little confused on that, since in other comments you've mentioned that AGPL was a deliberate choice for <reasons>. So, what's the definitions of "winning" here?

The more permissive MIT is often an advantage if you want to build it into something bigger, which is reasonable for diff tool.
Discrete users would arguably win more with integrity of AGPL, but developers have reasons to prefer MIT.

It was a tongue-in-cheek joke :)
But it was worth pointing out the difference in license, it is one of the ways in which the projects differ.
