Um, I didn't say any of that at all. Here are my words:
"If the GPL software in question didn't exist you'd be in the same situation."
"So you're complaining that there's lovely software but bad corporate policies are a problem for your company. That's not a problem for the GPLed software."
I seriously do not understand how you got that from what I wrote.
- ninkendo 11y agoSorry, I've re-read it several times and I still don't understand it then. It sounds like you were claiming that the problem isn't with the GPL but with my company having bad policies. So I attempted to defend my company's policies (as I explained in the post.) The overall point is that I can't help contribute to GPL code because the GPL license prevents me from using it in the first place. (My company's policies are a red herring, they're merely there to make sure I use software properly.) I am theorizing that perhaps a developer may want my contributions, which is why they may want to consider that before they choose the GPL. Edit: Ah, I think I understand now... when you said my company has bad policies you meant not open sourcing our SaaS is the bad policy, not don't use GPL as a policy. It's an entirely different conversation if that's the case, sorry I misread.
