- ndsipa_pomu 4y agoI didn't see anything about linux in that, although I'd guess that the GPL is ensuring that the right to copy is passed on to everyone. In terms of piracy, Windows is very popular, so I'd expect something more fundamental than just a religion of copying. To my mind, sharing is more important than copying - I can make multiple copies of software, but it doesn't mean anything until it's passed on to someone else.

Quoting the original post: > We only currently have hardware configurations for MacOs/Windows and our expectation was that she will use Windows along with the rest of our team. > She says that she can fulfill all job duties without Windows and I am inclined to believe her but corporate policy dictates WINDOWS and my management is not on board with her request for Linux.
