Linux is open source ware. Linus doesn't give a shit about freedom.

>>55218000
That's why it's GPLv2 right?

>>55218000
So he shouldn't, muh freedoms retards are, well, retarded. Nigger.

>>55218024
Yes, that's why vanilla Linux is packed with loads of proprietary modules.

Linux, the kernel, you know

So you're too new to remember Jiuyuu

I never got the whole "proprietary programming" thing, though. Then again, i'm not a good programmer.

How do you claim copyright on code? Like I understand copyrighting the system, but what if I write a function that, minus a couple variable names, look the same as another persons function. They could be halfway across the world, but i get sued all the same. It's weird.

You don't even see the source code of proprietary programs. You basically get a program (kernel module in this case), don't know what it actually does, but must use it so Linux can talk with your hardware.
