It is open for me to use as I please. And I don't want to destroy their business. I can understand your ideological drive, but in reality it doesn't matter until you behave unethically and steal their intellectual property. Do you want that?
- ensignavenger 4y agoIf you are sure that what you please is and always will be in line with what their company pleases, then I suppose so. Ideology has nothing to do with it. Nor does "unethically and steal their intellectual property" have anything to do with it- they can choose whatever license they want for their intellectual property and I can ethically choose not to use it. Unless your idea of "ethics" is for force me to use their intellectual property and agree to their license?
- Pet_Ant 4y ago> It is open for me to use as I please. Sure, but that's not what "open source" means. I mean I can go around calling C a functional programming language because it functions and I can build functioning programs with it... but that's not what the word means in anyone's discourse besides yours. I mean I support your freedom of speech, but also mine in saying your usage is disingenuous.
