They can retard, it's called you don't except other people's comits into your branch.
You are fucking retarded and clearly only pretending not to know the fundamental basics of copyright, ToS, and fukkin source repository.
You've derailed the thread for 50 posts for more by pretending to be flat-earth level brainlet, really your just a kike shill who doesn't want the FSF to improve.
Who paid you?
>That's wrong though, see this: gnu.org
Thanks! One of these could be exactly what I'm looking for. But FSF advocates frequently claim that only the GPL is true freedom, but it seems they admit licenses are categorized as free without several conditions of the GPL. This abuse of rhetoric is exactly what's wrong.
What is a fork?
Usually an useless attempt.
Slippery slope.
Sure, but it fragments the userbase and community, and the potential for it shapes how you handle development.
"Oh no, other people writing their own software somehow affects the software on my machine"
What level is your autism?
No they don't you lying faggot. They say anything that violates the 4 Computing Freedoms violates true freedom.
It certainly affects my willingness to commit to a project that involves a lot of people and money, and my ability to manage said project to a productive end.
Apparently not high as high as yours.
The GPL never sat well with me because they had to reinvent what freedom meant, it always felt like some kind of "no true scotsman" bs and they always play some slavery card.
Freedom can't be defended or tampered with, that's what makes it free. Even in a situation like preventing slavery, what you say you're doing is "fighting for freedom", which isn't inherently a bad thing, but it is still restrictive and goes against the idea of freedom. It's ironic to say you're defending freedom by taking it away from people. True freedom is true freedom, GPL faux-freedom is just that, false freedom. There's no denying or debating that, what you should debate instead are your opinions on certain liberties but these GPL advocates don't, they conflate everything into one issue under the wrong name because it is adventitious for them to do so, and that sucks.
Freedom is the right to do as you wish as long as you don't harm others and their own freedom. Yelling "fire" in a crowded theatre when there is no fire is not an expression of freedom. Taking up a slave is not freedom because slavery causes others to have no freedom. Exercising your power as a slave owner is a matter of exercising power, it is not a matter of freedom. Likewise, distributing proprietary software is not an expression of freedom. The GPL is written in such a way that ensures users have the essential freedoms that they need because without it, people are commonly inclined to distribute that software as proprietary software.
It's GNU/freedoms, GNU+freedoms is also acceptable.
