You are right, thanks for clarifying. I asked that question as the GP made the case that breaking GPL is equivalent to pirating (breaking any other copyright).

- scarface74 6y agoIf you use GPL software in non GPL code, you are still “pirating” the code and using it in a way that the person/group didn’t give you permission to use the license. This is no different than sharing any other copyrighted content. The copyright holder controls how the content is shared.
