- kazinator 11mo agoGPL does not prohibit evil uses. You can put GPLed crap in weapons systems that are used for striking civilian targets.
- normie3000 11mo agoIf a weapon includes AGPLed code, do targets of the weapon have a right to view the source code?

- m463 11mo agoGPL does not restrict the USE of the software. The rights are for the USER and he may use it for any purpose. The responsibility comes with redistribution - you must pass the source code and along any modifications you have made - passing on the rights you received. basically any restriction on the use makes it not free software.
