You fucking autist

Let's say I hand out free lemons. In a place respecting my rights, I am part of the lemon trademark business, and I am giving away property. Now, someone can take those lemons and develop their own skills to produce into lemonade and sell it for their chosen price. Why should they have the right to do so, when all they've done is rebrand the product? The most they've done is add a simple technique, a style, and maybe some sugar. If I wanted to know how he produced that lemonade, it should be in my right to sell him those rights.

The problem is that people are comparing code and developing that code to "property". It's the same as physical property. This is like company shares or money that can easily be reproduced and transferred. You don't give away these things without recognizing either a transfer in trademark, or knowledge/transaction of how to further make use of that derived product. The derived product, resulting from the lemons code.

Instead of worrying about trying to take someone elses business for my own free use, just because I made some code, it only makes sense to keep a company and its workers all motivated towards caring about what they love to work on most. Whatever gives them possibility for the most innovation, without stealing each other's ideas, and labeling them as something else.

BSD is about different flavors. You actually accomplish shit. Currently, its the best there is right now, instead of relying on everyone contributing to the same bucket of madness, licenses, and programmers unwilling to make their own code, and consumers unwilling to spend money on a product they care about.

tl;dr or bust

Some examples would be:

Google using the majority of Linux to create the Android brand and then slowly adding non-free code loaded alongside the GPL code. This non-free code essentially makes the whole point of free as in freedom, for the users, completely useless. And it will eventually see the android system as totally useless other than by companies also wanting to profit off users by taking away their freedom.

Reddit open-sourced their code because it is their ideology and choice for the users. It makes the code open while also giving the ability for anyone else to develop their own instance of the program, without putting reddit at a commercial disadvantage, where they would not be able to profit from their own work and development, to use the other company's code derived from reddit. However, while it gives a lot of freedom, the GPL code of reddit also includes closed source code that involves the anti-vote botting. In effect, the overall usability of the code is diminished because it is not possible to make sense of the whole function without seeing both sides of the input and output. So, the ways that vote counts are manipulated, is still unknown, and reddit could not be truly copied as a free instance.

What do you care about it? Do you have to maintain one?

I swear to God, you autists just can't stand things that are different from yours.

>>58514476
that is how debian works

1. package gets in unstable
2. after testing it, it goes to testing
3. after fixing it up it get "frozen". Frozen packages get in "stable"
4. stable ships ONE version of most software. Kinda providing a stable and still platform for servers and to develop software for.

And this is what people EXPECT. When we were in jessie, companies PAID people and debian to keep squeeze (the version before wheezy which is now oldstable) alive with security patches because they built their infrastructure on it. This is how debian LTS was born.

Just like how companies and governments still cling on windows fucking XP after 17 years.

>I use Arch and it's the most fucking stable distro I've ever used
Let me guess, you use a webbrowser, a filebrowser, and a media player, nothing else, maybe a mail client. Yet you talk about how stable distro x is compared to any other distro.

>arch
>stable

foobar2000 is superior.
foobar2000 in Wine is superior than foobar2000.
But I personally prefer Winamp, because muh nostalgia.

>>58514515
Yes, retard, that is why everyone keeps using aimp v3 instead of the trash you posted

2-step authentication is pretty big now. The days of having a billion key chain authenticatior fobs is a thing of the past. Everything can be installed on a smartphone.

>Everything can be installed on a smartphone
That sounds like really bad security practice given that phones are a lot less secure than computers. For that reason alone I refuse to do banking on my phone.

>>58514181
Oh yeah, and I also never log into my mail account from the phone because if it's compromised then pretty much all of my online accounts will be.
