The rights granted by GPL apply to the version I gave you. It doesn't obligate me to keep giving you new versions.

The GPL does not cover support contracts. No mental gymnastics needed.

What do you think is more likely? 1. An entity that that has been dealing with GPL software and the attendent licencing issues for decades fundamentally got it wrong. 2. Your understanding of the GPL is incorrect.

> Sounds a lot like a new restriction on sharing. The threat of future action if you share something under GPL is a restriction on sharing. It isn't. Giving you a boot disc doesn't obligate me to make future versions available

It's a crime to intentionally drive a car over someone. Legal systems vary across the world but I would imagine most of them account for mens rea . So, crafting API calls to intentionally bring down a system most definitely can be a c

The GPL can't force Red Hat to continue to do business with someone.

by unmole 3y ago
Red Hat can't impose restrictions on rights granted by GPL. But they are well within their rights to terminate business relationships with partners who chose to re-publish sources. I don't know what the current situation is but Gr

Graeber was a successful bullshit artist. Sure, he didn't have a bullshit job according to his vague and peculiar definition. But this was a man who wrote a door stopper of a book on Debt which blitley conflates credit with benevolen
