- jbk 15y agoIf no copyright exists, then you can do all of the above. If no trademark exists, only the trademark one would be ok. If no patents exists, no change. Ethically, I would say that the biggest issue is to claim money for a work you haven't done.
- scott_s 15y agoGPL enforcement depends on copyright law. So, all GPL enforcement goes out the window without copyright law. I think everyone is already assuming that the above practices are morally and ethically bad. The problem is how to prevent them from happening, which most likely involves using the law.
- rhizome 15y agoThere is no "copyright-less world," but pot sure is fun, isn't it?
- omouse 15y agoI don't smoke the chronic, thanks for making an assumption and reducing the level of debate here to a juvenile level. Laws aren't natural, they're man-made things and they can be removed if they cause more problems than they solve.
