Marinus didn't mean that the software harms the user. Marinus meant how a software licensed under a weak libre license can be used against the community/people. An example is Microsoft which uses a lot of MIT-licensed software to produce its own software and publishes them proprietorially. It's needless to mention an specific incident as there's too many.
A software libre licensed under a weak license (such as MIT) can be used to produce a proprietary software (or even platform) and in result, harm users. I believe there's no need to mention that software libre is about software that respects users' freedom, not anything else so a software libre can be harmful (at use) too. We're talking about the concept, right? On 9/23/20 12:58 AM, Jean Louis wrote: > I do not see how free software licenses harm the user.
