I think you might be responding to the wrong comment? I didn't say anything about proprietary software, or about one being better or worse than another.

- Karunamon 12y agoNope. What is that supposed to mean? Software is software Different classes of software exist with different licensing concerns.
- Crito 12y agoI am well aware of that. Let's take a step back: >>> For (B), that's a good thing. Nowadays, the GPL merely prevents software from having widespread use. >> Bizarre claim. Doesn't seem to have affected Linux/Android or git itself from achieving widespread use. reply > Platforms versus modules. I don't understand what the last line means. I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with it, because I don't know what it means in the first place.
- Karunamon 12y agoOkay - first claim: GPL prevents software from having widepsread use. Rebuttal: Didn't impact Android, Linux, or Git. Operating systems and developer-only tools are special cases and are not relevant to the general claim of "GPL preventing widespread use".
