Hmmm... then what distinguishes that design feature from DRM?
- dalke 13y agoUmmm, lots of things? To start with, access to the source code, the legal ability to modify and redistribute said code, and no requirement for permission renewals from someone else. What gives you the idea that this is anything like DRM? Given the long history of spin-offs like gcc-xml (which started in 2000), there's nothing which prevents you from adding this design yourself. This is a social contract issue, not a legal one.
