Lots of angry posts. How about adding something interesting?

    Your comments would bear more weight if you were to describe your philosophical objections to the GPL.

      How 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.

    I 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 ago
      Popularity? 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.
