Except that like 95% of free software is blatant shit, and other 4.9% is good but inferior to the proprietary alternative. The reality is that companies develop better stuff because they invest a lot of money into it, and that's why BSD licenses have spawned awesome commercial products that we all benefit from; if that code had been licensed as GPL instead of BSD, many things would not exist.

>>58797953

Show me a list of GPL things that in practice are superior to the proprietary alternatives; there are less than 50 and most are server software. Then you could make a list of proprietary things that spawned from BSD code and they would probably be in the tens of thousands and also in a field that moves lots of money, such as consoles and smart appliances and shit that everyone buys.

Companies spend money to make money and the fact that they compete with others forces them to deliver a quality product. GPL is just a clusterfuck where they fork a project because of political reasons and social justice, and then they end up with 10 forks of the same thing, none of which surpasses the proprietary version and all struggling with funding. On top of that consider that most BSDs have better audition processed because they're funded by universities and worked by interns, shit last time I checked FreeBSD had 11 bugs; then you can check how many bugs the Linux kernel has and it's in the thousands, with like 70% of the fixes consisting on declaring the bug not common enough to be fixed and removing it from the list.

Lincucks hate BSDs because BSDs are what Linux wanted to be and failed to; and the reason of this failure is that the GPL doesn't promote private inversion. Why should I spend money on developing something that I won't be able to exploit exclusively?

>>58798148

Yes, they do. Photoshop is the industry standard for a reason and pretty much everyone who works with it agree. If you disagree feel free to go and convince them that GIMP is superior, which shouldn't be too hard to do if you're actually right. Come back when you have enlightened 100,000s of professionals with your knowledge and changed the world, kiddo.

the horror of capitalism is real, it means poverty, war, killing, destruction and sabotage of the future of the planet.
if you believe that the democrats espouse anything close to communism or socialism you're best off reading a wikipedia article, and if you're prepared to go past that, read a book. democrats are but part of the one us business party that solely work to further the aims of the bourgeoisie, like any state.

i will never believe this statement for the reason that there is so much more manpower going into the linux kernel than freebsd (openbsd even more so but it's not a priority for them). as well linux gets new networking features first because its an easy testbed to get them implemented, so things like tcp fast open get a linux impl first.

>>58799336

essential items are almost never in full supply in developing countries, and there are points in time when we have crises of supply in essential items (contrived example: marmite crisis of late 2016)

this is impossible when you and your colleagues run the workplace, there are no commissars or bosses to be stealing.

the paris commune was not authoritarian, the communards enjoyed the most freedom maybe anyone has had in history and it was a successful socialist community. the russian ssr was on the path to lenin's predicted "withering away" of the state until stalin, the true counter revolutionary, seized control and turned the ussr into what it is remembered for.

The paris commune is a fairy tale. It never happened. The radicals that overthrew the king immediately implemented an atheist super state and the people had to literally elect Napoleon to get out of it.

Except this thing happens every century or so, and has consistently happened ever since capitalism took effect after feudalism fell to the Renaissance. History repeats itself; there isn't a new thing under the sun. Radical uprisings are indistinguishable from each other, and invariably end in failure, because they aren't supported by the people, because they don't serve the people.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Why do opponents of BSD say that people can steal your code? There's no stealing going on. They're using it for free for their own purposes. Similarly, other people can use it for free in free software if they choose. There is nothing wrong with a free software library being used in a proprietary application. In fact, it's better that a free library be used rather than a proprietary library.

>>58799972

Freedom 0. Also literally none of this applies to people who just use the software. It's only when you decide to write it that you can begin to protect what you wrote.

If all it takes to destroy the western civilisation is a couple of semites, it really wasn't worth defending to begin with

If it wasn't for the GPL, Linux would have died on the spot.
All those contributions that Red Hat, IBM, Google, etc have made weren't done in the goodness of their hearts, and if they didn't have to play nicely I doubt they would.

Question: if a company steals code from a GPL source, and the end product is closed source, how will anybody notice they stole the code?

User friendly if you haven't been using Windows for 15 years and have severe baby duck syndrome. Can either become the best tool for work or the worst, depending on what you're using (either hackintosh or apple hardware). Desktop with decent defaults, which is hard to see. Doesn't work blazing fast, it's more moderate, but it's pretty stable. No forced automated updates, you can disable them, it doesn't usually need them. On hackintosh, slower boot times. Can make you lazy despite having compatibility with a fuckload of productivity software and some that doesn't even exist on Windows.

Windows: Gaming OS. Has a lot of productivity software, but it's not pleasant to look at or read on it. Wastes a lot of space and it screams "please tamper with system files to get what you want". Better versions are older, dated ones. The best hardware support if your hardware isn't more than a decade old, or apple. Each release it seems they add a new OS on top of another rather than replacing it or upgrading the older one.

BSD: ???????????<undefined>?????

Linux: Too many distros, too many window managers, too many desktop environments. Too many of everything. Less focus on quality and more on quantity. A lot of "alternatives" to software, but some of them do not suffice. Very customizable, the tampering is a common and expected practice rather than something the system will prevent you from doing. Many things need little fixes rather than work out of the box. Can be a real timesink.

I never really understood. If someone takes GPL code, and compiles it closed, how can you tell it's violating GPL? If reverse compiles were that great, wouldn't ReactOS be perfect?

>>58797996
That list gets smaller and smaller every year. Apple used BSD code to get rich, and now it's paying its devs with that money to write closed source replacements for the open source parts.

I wonder what goes thorugh Linuck/GNUmale/GPhelL users after years of working for free only to realise that Stallman is a jew and they have been manipulated in to joining some weird obsessive cult.

Enough of the paid trolls and Microsoft fuckers, Here is the truth:

Some cucks (among many we have) are trying to promote BSD, MIT, Apache and other licenses because they are hired by corporations that can make privative software thanks to those licenses by putting some closed source on top and fuck everyone else.

For example, Darwin is a kernel in which Apple collaborates with the "open source" community. Because it is a BSD derivative, Apple uses that and put it some closed source bits and call it OS X.

Sure, you can use Darwin, but is crippleware, is of much lesser quality. And Apple is not even full fascist here, they at least have some degree of cooperation. Microsoft on the other hand in the 90's spread memos about how to fuck up Linux and the free as in freedom community. Is called "embrace, extend, extinguish". See for yourself:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend_and_extinguish
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween_documents

If you were in charge of Microsoft, and you had no ethics, what would you do knowing that you could harm the free software community just by reusing "open source" software in your favor, put some bells and whistles, and extinguishing the original product?

I beg you consider the GPL and LGPL over everything else. One can't possibly know what is being used under the hood of many privative software, and you never know when something "open sourced" sometime ago is now part of closed source software.

Even the LGPL, because you can have a fully functional application in LGPL which someone can cut off the interface, put a privative interface to it and deprecate any other interface by changing the API (systemd?).

The question is whether your non-restrictive license is actually damaging to the open source community.

By not legally obligating those who improve the code to contribute back, you're robbing ALL those who decide to download your code of at least some potential future improvements by others. It's less about what other people are stealing from you and more about what other people aren't giving back.

You shouldn't steal from others with no benefit to yourself. FFS at least get something for all the potential improvements you're robbing these suckers of.

I'm not implying anything, I'm telling you that you're wrong because you fucking are. Darwin is on operating system of which XNU is the kernel.

>Darwin is an open-source Unix operating system
>The kernel of Darwin is XNU
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS
>At macOS's core is a POSIX compliant operating system built on top of the XNU kernel, with standard Unix facilities available from the command line interface. Apple has released this family of software as a free and open source operating system named Darwin. On top of Darwin, Apple layered a number of components, including the Aqua interface and the Finder, to complete the GUI-based operating system which is macOS.[47]
