+Although 8sync provides some unique features, its main functionality is as
+ an asynchronous event loop, and there are many other asynchronous event
+ loop systems out there such as Node.js for Javascript and Asyncio for
+ Python (there are others as well).
+It is popular in some of these communities to hold anti-copyleft positions,
+ which is unfortunate, and many community members seem to be adopting
+ these positions because other developers they look up to are holding
+ them.
+If you have come from one of these communities and are exploring 8sync, we
+ hope reading this will help you reconsider your position.
