Ah so if you think you have the right to the fruit of your labor, I assume that means you're a communist? That seems pretty in step with the GPL.

- meepmorp 13y ago> Ah so if you think you have the right to the fruit of your labor, I assume that means you're a communist? More likely, a libertarian in the contemprary American sense of the term, though the labor theory of property is at least Lockean in vintage.
- pnathan 13y agoNo, I'm not. But I think that I have a certain right to what I do with myself; this right allows me to sell my services to employers. I think that there is a powerful value in sharing, however. On a physical level, the old-fashioned term is "being a good neighbor". The GPL enforces sharing contractually. There's also a powerful value in being able to fix things that you use. And the GPL enables that as well, also contractually. So I prefer the AGPL3 when possible, because I believe its values align with what I believe to be the best for society.
