Re: [Trisquel-users] One thing that bothers me about Richard Stallman

I'm not sure if this is what you meant, but copyleft doesn't force freedom  
onto someone else. A user of a GPL-licensed program can run the program the  
way they don't wish, not take the source code and compile it, not  
redistribute, etc. The GPL forces people to not force non-freedom onto  
someone else.

Proprietary software developers don't like to think of it this way, but  
that's what proprietary software does; it forces non-freedom onto someone  
else. The GPL just says you can't do that.
