People talking about copyright exclusively talk about revenue.
Copyright isn’t meant to gatekeep people from copying each other just because it’s fun to gatekeep. The entire reasoning we give to continue using that system is based on revenue.
So, the answer to your question is: everyone.
- numpad0 4y agoYou are trying to casually deny GNU GPL. On HN. WTF?
- scrollaway 4y agoI invite you to think about whether the GPL would be required for what it tries to achieve, in a system that doesn't have copyright at all.
- numpad0 4y agoGPL depends on copyright! It literally depends on parts of copyright frameworks that grant authors to have fun gatekeeping others. FSF guys had been fighting and defeating "you saying we stole GPL'd code is bogus because free internet stuff can't be stolen" for decades. It just makes no sense that you'd assume the foundation of GPL applies to code but not to images.
