Maximum freedom is attained when users are restricted from taking away the freedom of other users.
- m463 1y agoI meant users literally. rms told me - you can USE the software for any purpose.
- immibis 1y agoYep, and if your use involves giving the software to other people, but you don't want to give them the source code, you're restricted from that use.
- ranger_danger 1y agoThere is no legal definition where "use" is somehow equal to "distribute" as you're using it.
- immibis 1y agoThere's no legal definition of any of this, it's fully specified by the license.
