> Nothing about GPL makes it "less copyrighted". Acting like a commercial copyright is "stronger" because it doesn't immediately grant certain uses is false and needs to be challenged whenever the claim is made.
GPL says "you have a license to use it if you do XYZ." The alternative is "you have no license to use it." How is that not strictly "stronger?"
- joe_the_user 4y agoThe GPL is as strong as a commercial license in the sense that the conditions it does specify are exactly as legally binding as those of a commercial license.
- 6gvONxR4sf7o 4y agoRight, but a license is more permissive than no license.
