Re: [Trisquel-users] occupygpl.org wants to make copyleft licenses go away

[onpon4]

This website does not deserve any attention. Moreover, the fact that it tries  
to compare itself to Occupy Wall Street is insulting. It's rather more like  
the Tea Party.

I've heard an anecdote suggesting that companies find it funny that they can  
take permissively licensed software, use it to enhance their proprietary  
software, and give nothing back. I don't know whether or not this is true,  
but even if it isn't, it's exactly the sort of thing permissive licenses  
invite. All this crap about copyleft being some sort of injustice because  
corporations don't have the "freedom" to take away the freedom of their  
users? It strikes me the same as when the ultra-rich complain about not  
having "freedom" to exploit workers, the environment, the economy, etc to  
make themselves even richer.
