Really?
I can do wahetever i want with it except monopolise it. How is that not free?
TOUCHE'!
How anyone who is familiar with FOSS can think that it is not about
freedom is just amazing. It must involve an awful lot of denial and
self-deception.
That FOSS is mostly all about freedom is obvious. Just look at the very
first paragraph of the GPL, the Preamble:
"The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General
Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share
and change free software--to make sure the software is free for
all its users."
FOSS ain't freedom? Man, that's hilarious!
God bless!
