How is preventing me from making a closed sourced derivative of dmd in any way protecting my rights as a a user of the source?
- throwaway7645 10y agoA two-edged sword in my opinion. GPL always protects the end-user so they can get the source, but it infringes on the creator trying to make closed source software. So as a user I like GPL, but when programming I tend to mostly avoid it. Mine mine mine! :)
