Re: GPL version 4
moving m...@openbsd.org to Bcc Please do not post discussions of GPL politics to OpenBSD mailing lists. You know we have different views, so cross-posting is pure trolling. -d On Mon, 15 Dec 2008, Mark Kirkwood wrote: valdis.kletni...@vt.edu wrote: On Thu, 17 Jul 2008 05:31:15 +0800, Morton Harrow said: I see with pain in my heart that the GPLv3 doesn't actually give the users of GPLv3 software the liberty and freedom the FSF has been fighting for. Instead they are forced to play by the strict set of terms the GPLv3 provides. You missed an important philosophical point. In Richard Stallman's world view, it isn't the user's freedoms that matter, it's the *software*s freedom. I don't think it is that bad - the intent is for the software to be freely available for *people* to use. It is actually about our freedom. regards Mark ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Don't expect eye candy, it is an OS to get work done. Just don't try to use it in a commercial product unless you have a commercial license or a small army of laywers to help you through the license morass. Compare the Plan9 license[1] with the OpenBSD license policy[2] and recommended license[3] sometime. -d [1] http://www.cs.bell-labs.com/plan9dist/license.html [2] http://www.openbsd.org/policy.html [3] http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/share/misc/license.template?rev=1.2 ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
