Most free/open software is not free. You are bound by licencing to give your hard work to anyone who asks for it, forcing you to share it with everyone.

We should rename Free/Open Source software "Ransomsource" software. You are being held under threat of litigation to release every aspect of your software.

If you share something in real life, you can't just go "lol give me credit" or "I'm sharing this with you, but you must share it with everyone else or I'm suing you".

Free software is not free unless you can use the software and it's code in any way without giving credit to anyone and you should have the ability to make it proprietary or change it at will without sharing it with everyone.

Free software is anti-business and founded on communism/socialism. Boycott it. Support developers and support companies who make great, reliable software. You can't rely on some fat neckbeard to produce anything of worth.

So many companies have been litigated for taking "free" software and making it great, without giving credit. It's not a companies fault that a freetard cant make good software, and needs proper developers to do the job for them.

Try and refute me, protip you can't.

Checkmate Stallmanfags.

This is why permissive licenses are the only free licenses.
GPL is pinko commie shit.

Free software != copy left

Only the GPL is copyleft.

>>57326492
No you haven't and also your argument is completely retarded. Nobody's forcing you to make FS, if you do not want other people seeing your code then make your program proprietary. And FS need licences because of the following scenario:
>Person A makes completely free software as you described
>Person B copyrights that software, because he can
>Person A cannot use the software without paying paying person B anymore

You do realize that you choose the license you put your software under yourself, right?

Agreed.

I actually unmemeingly agree. That's why WTPL is the best licence: you can do literally whatever the fuck you want, you can even make free software proprietary and sell it for $$$.

You can't though.

Shitty bait made to mock up the BSD folks by bringing on the old license fight detected.

You have to rename your project and that's it.

why not just transfer data anonymously, making you immune to being sued, and disregard all licenses?

If I take some FOSS software and make my own changes to make something else, why should I have to open source my own work when the original source code minus my work is available from the original project?
