"But Your Honor, I'm not distributing copies of the copyrighted program, just another program which happens to generate the copyrighted program bit-by-bit! All my original creation, even though I was literally looking at the copyrighted program while developing it..."
Do you think that I can just gzip gplprogram.c and then redistribute gplprogram.c.gz under the "Do What The Fuck You Want To Public License"?
- m-p-3 4y agoTechnically you would be distributing your own implementation, not the original source code. Copyright does allow you to do that. They just applied the concept of reproducible build on top.
