I knew the GPLv3 Installation Instructions requirements were narrow (enough that I don't think it's actually a barrier to, say, bundling GPL code with an iOS app), but "anti-TiVo so weak it wouldn't stop TiVo" is a TIL.
- pabs3 5y agoTBH despite being a GPL zealot I think it is a fairly reasonable compromise to allow proprietary software to delete itself or stop itself from working if a user updates the GPL software. OTOH, the LGPL does not allow that, you have to allow re-linking with the proprietary code, so there is precedent the other way too. IIRC the issue with GPL and iOS was that the GPL was/is incompatible with the App Store ToS.
