Others use the programs for financial gain and contribute little
All users who get a copy of a Linux distribution have the right to run, read, modify, and share the code that they receive, and thus the GPL has fulfilled its purpose. It is not the purpose of the GPL to demand contributions from those who do not want to contribute, nor is it the purpose of the GPL to prevent financial gain from GPLed code. Developers are free to choose a license that suits their own goals better if they do not like the purposes or outcomes of the GPL. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
