go sue more schoolchildren for not publishing their modifications to "libre" code
- Dah00n 3y agoLots of angry posts. How about adding something interesting?

- vincent-manis 3y agoYour comments would bear more weight if you were to describe your philosophical objections to the GPL.
- iraqmtpizza 3y agoHow about its unenforceable self-aggrandizing nonsense about how everything is a derivative work as long as two files were ever in the same room together? Sounds like the easiest way to get the code to the nuclear football--just trick them into touching a GPL file. Just because a contract says something is a derivative work doesn't mean that it is legally. I see GPL bros as vexatious children armed with lawyers. Like Oracle.
- mdwalters 3y agoI am struggling to see your point. Are you trying to say that "GPLers" are supposed to stop using GPL because of popularity and strict terms?
- iraqmtpizza 3y agoPopularity? Yeah, among corporate lawyers. It's no accident that Oracle v. Google went like 12 years. Strict terms? Yeah. When free and permissive are said to be opposites, you know you're in a psych ward.
- Brian_K_White 3y agoAre you sure they shouldn't just be shot? Someone needs a therapist.
- iraqmtpizza 3y agoThe schoolchildren or the copyleft bros? Either way you must be some kind of sicko to suggest such a thing. Sickos always assume everyone else is as sick as them, so it's never a surprise to see them advocate for things like gun control.
- Brian_K_White 3y agoI don't recall any part of this conversation being about gun control, so it's pretty weird, in a completely common way, to bring it up. You apparently have made an unsafe assumption about what my stance is on that. "copyleft bros" is like saying "soup kitchen volunteer bros"
- iraqmtpizza 3y agoSoup kitchen volunteers are the perfect example of nominally good works as self-aggrandizement. I would not be surprised in the slightest if the ones who came up with the Iraq War were regulars behind the counter.
