>freedom come with so many restrictions
Because they don't give a shit about your freedom, they give a shit about their (and my) freedom.

>freedom is different for everyone
Yeah, fuck off, kike.

So companies cannot just take the code, make it a base of something proprietary, make fat buck from selling it then contribute barely anything or nothing back.

-Google licenses Android, Chromium and the new kernel they write for Android under a license that permits them to just take the code and sell a proprietary version of it
-Sony uses BSD as the base for their PS system software, while keeping most of the changes and improvements they did for it for them.
-There was a free software dev who made a BSD licensed library which is used in Chrome. He thought Google would hire him to work on that for them. But no, Google hired pajeet to work on his software, and he is homeless now.

If you write software you care for, you use GPL or anything similar that only asks other for one thing: code you can use yourself.

You did not answer my question at all.
Providing rationale for using GPL3 does not explain subversion of the very idea of freedom.

But the GPL2 did that just fine anon.

holy god is that real

GPL serves for the freedom of code, not the freedom of developers.

GPLv3 was made during the age of software patent trolls. Extra points had to be added to protect the developers from them.

It's simple: the GPL protects users, the software, and contributers, not outsiders looking to exploit other people's work.

Oh, kind of like copyright?

>>59254504
It's pretty much the opposite of copyright. That's why they call it "copyleft" anyway.
You have to admit though, Stallman is a genius for twisting the copyright law on its head like that. I don't like him very much and think he's an extremist, but I give credit where credit is due.
