The GPL started when RMS wanted to fix his printer and Xerox said "No."
- Thiez 3y agoSo are printer drivers GPL licensed these days or did the GPL fail?
- carapace 3y agoSpeaking as a GPL/"Free" software partisan, we failed. Although I don't like it, I think it's pretty clear. Most people have no idea what the GPL is, even most people who have heard of it don't seem to understand what it was trying to accomplish. The farmers fighting for the "right to repair" their own tractors are the front of the battle now.
