That was the intention on the GPL? To discourage use and sharing code? Because people still share a lot of code, they just choose a better license. I say better because the GPL is bad, it is the worst part of the Linux ecosystem and the worst part of embedded systems tool chains. I’ve contributed to a few open source project, but never a gpl one. Smug programmers like you are the worst part of open source.

Yes, the intention was very explicitly to discourage use and sharing to people who didn't intend to share alike. > Smug programmers like you are the worst part of open source. I'm smug because I want you to share your changes to my code back? Good to know, I guess.
- jbluepolarbear 5y agoNo you’re smug because you want to own my changes that I made to facilitate my needs. Even worse if you feel my changes aren’t acceptable I’ll have to fork your project and maintain a divergence anyway. So yes GPL is bad and is a poison.
- jbluepolarbear 5y agoIt really bothers me how you gpl assholes think you own everything that touches your shit. Your toxic code has been intertwined so deeply with software and operating systems that it’s a literal minefield. You and people like you have cost countless headaches, lawyer fees, stress because you fee your code needs to be used and contributed to. It’s a fucking narcissistic license.
