Sally <[email protected]> added the comment: 1) This developer has been in compliance with the GPL since 2006. 2) This developer is a contributor to FFMPEG. 3) The GPL is not a license to dictate arbitrary terms to people who use GPL software. The power of the GPL does not extend past the terms in the GPL itself. 4) Therefore, you cannot dictate that someone change the license of some other software because they also distribute GPL software under the GPL. 5) Further, the audacity of threatening to sue a developer who contributed to open source for failing to sufficiently lick your ass, is the reason the word "Freetard" was invented. 6) Since this developer is in compliance with the terms of the GPL, and you refuse to recognize this, you refuse to recognize the actual terms of the GPL, and thus, as far as the FFMPEG group is concerned, the GPL is repudiated. 7) Therefore, no developer should bother to attempt compliance with the GPL since you do not recognize the GPL yourselves. If you're going to hold people to the terms of the GPL, you must be held to them as well. This developer has followed the terms, but you have not. Therefore, you reject the GPL, and by rejecting it, lose the right to enforce it.
Diego, and every other freetard like him- you do not get to lie about what someone has done, and then get self righteous towards them in response. Doing so shows you to be a person of no integrity, nor honor, who has rejected truth. Thus, it is appropriate roine started ignoring you. There's no point in arguing with someone who is being dishonest from the start... especially since roine apparently has been in complaince since 2006. I came here to make sure the software I'm about to release is in complaince with the GPL... but now I discover that compliance is not sufficient. Your perspective is that nobody should be allowed to ship commercial software and you dishonestly claim the GPL allows you to dictate terms to these people, even when they are in compliance with the GPL. Therefore, I am going to use FFMPEG and I am going to not be in compliance with the GPL. My sensibilities have been offended, and since you shit all over your own license, I'm not going to respect it either. I'm sure you will delete this comment, just as you have repeatedly lied about this topic and ignored the fact that rione proved compliance immediately after this issue was raised. But if you ever wonder why people don't respect the GPL, look in the mirror. You're setting the example. ---------- status: open -> closed substatus: reproduced -> invalid ________________________________________________ FFmpeg issue tracker <[email protected]> <https://roundup.ffmpeg.org/issue726> ________________________________________________
