but he invented Nonfree software. its a wash

wut

dafuq you talking about?

He's the guy that came up with the very concept of enforcing freedom in the software license.

people can do what they want with their work

Yes, he's not against people writing nonfree software.

alternative licensing schemes are important

He's not against nonfree software. He's not against people creating, distributing nonfree software.

he is a *bitch* about people writing nonfree software

He doesn't like it, and he thinks it's immoral to make people use nonfree software.

every copy of the GPL contains his political prapaganda

yet people are confused by the licenses themselves

"political propaganda", dude, it's as much propaganda as the constitution of the USA.

theres no such thing as nonfree software

its not designed to take your liberties away as RMS states

I'm going to assume you just don't know anything about free software or the GPL, so you're just regurgitating what you heard someone else say.

what we have in some cases is overreach, "you cant hack this or we'll sue"

no, ive been working with opensource software for over a year, i study a bit about them

i went form loving to hating RMS the longer i listened to him

You're using the term "open source" as if it was related.

So now I know you don't know what you're talking about.

yes because Free Software is something rms made up

if you want freedom use cc0/MIT, not gpl

He literally made up, as in, he started it.

yeah, Xerox can make a printer and not give him free source code with it

but they shouldnt sue him if he finds some other way

I bet you weren't even born when Stallman singlehandedly wrote a compiler and the core GNU tools.

But hey, you have an opinion, ill informed as it is.

what was that in 1991?

1984

june

Bitch, go delete everything in your GNU/Linux system except for `/boot`, tell me how much usable your computer is.

The Free Software Foundation defines software freedom in 4 levels:
* Freedom to use the software any way you want
* Freedom to study its source.
* Freedom to share it.
* Freedom to improve it (and share the improvements.)

What's your beef with it?

with the header?

words follow it

You're just angry that you write/use nonfree software, so you have to attack Stallman because he makes you feel guilty.

I know what GCC is

Wow, get this man a Turing Award.

🔥

why would i feel guilty using gpl software
