It's dishonest argumentation, copyleft does little for sustainability or actual ethical/usage of software, and permissive licenses do even less, as far as the scope of copyleft licensing is concerned.

He is right. Why there pops put code that I cant uae in work. Off with thee, you commies. Get your own commie space. Copyleft code should have own sovietGit dot com
Julian Ross
no
Carter Rivera
YES!

Copyleft licenses don't respect my freedom or other devs' freedom as much as permissive licenses like MIT, Apache, and BSD do. They're truly free licenses unlike GPL.

>ethical usage of software
buzzword alert! what this means is that "nazis" are not allowed to use the software. Which goes against Freedom 0 of the GNU philosophy:
>The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).
ANY purpose. Including purposes that leftists disagree with. So they try to use licenses like the JSON loicense that say stuff like "cannot be used for evil" despite this being impossible to define let alone enforce, what really happens is they (try to) prevent people with opinions they dislike from being able to use the software.

wow, what a surprise. now take a look at most C projects.

No, GPL is the reason why we will never see a decent Linux desktop.
Hudson Gutierrez
Or what?
Logan Smith
we already have decent linux desktops, the limiting factor has been hardware compatibility for a long while.
yes, my grandmother can use xfce just fine. on compatible hardware it just werks.
Alexander Bell
>the limiting factor has been hardware compatibility
Exactly, because of GPL

i wonder whos correct.
Lucas Kelly
I'm enjoying 100% hardware compatibility faggot
Daniel Wright
>Exactly, because of GPL
and how did the MIT license work out for MINIX? or the BSD license for the various BSD os?
it's *because* of GPL linux is compatible on far more hardware than minix or BSD as daily operating system.

the GPL doesn't stop device manufacturers from releasing even closed-source drivers for linux, what are you smoking

MINIX was ahead of its time, and I don't know anything about BSD. Linux was free and ran on intel hardware, that's why it gained traction.
They can't use any libraries w/o releasing their source code or reinventing the wheel.
