@masterofthetiger@theres.life I disagree with the Free Software movement's ideas of free software. 😉 I think open source code is great, I think claims that people or companies "own" code are absurd, and any license which restricts what I can do with my software (whether it's a EULA or the GPL) under threat of violence is immoral.

@danielst to the third point, I would say 1) contra Mt. 10:8, I didn't say that it's ethical to hoard code. Sharing code is certainly the most ethical way to develop. But compelling people to share code constitutes something unethical too.

Most certainly the GPL is not a burden on users. But I would disagree with the notion that the GPL made Linux thrive--Linux thrived in spite of the GPL. The decline in Linux Foundation lawsuits prosecuting GPL violations shows this.
