Overused meme is overused. Please explain to me how EEE can be applied to GPLv2 code.

  The license is irrelevant. GPL code is useless if nobody uses it.

  It can be pretty easily applied to GPLv2 in commercial agreement. "You get the source under GPL and all the rights, but if you publish anything, you're dead to us and you need our product". This is what grsecurity does with Linux kernel, but the extinguish part is not in their interest.

    This post is literally a link to the source code published on Github, and the commits aren't obfuscated either.

      My explanation was unrelated to this specific code. You asked for how it can be done with this license.

  It is, and was, not just a meme. It was -- and may still be, where it can be made to work -- official corporate policy and strategy, at highest levels. Complaining about it didn't make it go away. Reduction of monopoly power limited opportunities to employ it. They have never renounced it, or admitted that it was wrong to have done it.
