Once again, Stallman (will have been) right.
Github/Microsoft is going to take your code, and then cut off your access to it. This is what the GPL was designed to fight, so they're going to try it this way instead.
Those who do not learn history yadda yadda.
- jefftk 5y agoHow does this cut off our access to the code?
- jrm4 5y agoSomeone's GPL'd code will "strongly inspire" someone elses proprietary (or otherwise "controlled") code down the line, and there won't be much recourse. Remember, the GPL isn't fundamentally about "enforcing licenses," it's a tool that reverses the usual power of copyright for a higher goal of "software freedom."
