No, but it's not patentable so the corporate Overlords must kill it for their own survival.

Child, if it's Stoly I'm there.  But you better bring along two 18yr old ho's.  Blond.  Twins.  I'll give you first "crack" at them, 'cause after I'm done--you'd just rattle around.

People who make statements like this only demonstrate that they understand neither communism nor capitalism.

actually it is.
and without real commodities or real people to kill, media/software is exactly where communism would suit.

Open source would be communism if:
- You were forced to write open source for 12 hours a day with a gun pointing your back
- You could slack off all the time
- You weren't allowed to do anything you want
- You didn't own the code you write (i.e. copyleft all the time)
- The State made all sorts of propaganda about it
- You were dying of hunger because you can't affor- I mean you are not assigned enough food (essential for true communism)

On top of that,

- Every program gets fixed resources regardless of what it needs, so when it fork()s, it children can only die().
- The State owns everything you program, write, or breathe
- The State is full of money leaks and the communist party leaders are the garbage collector

Fucking copyleft are trying to make it so nobody else owns what you do. That's communism.

Learn the proper definition of copyleft before trolling.

Uh, that word, "trolling", I don't think it means what you think it means.

God damnit so many retards who don't understand Communism, or anything else.

free software is more like anarchy. communism generally implies some sort of controlling, regulating government, which does not exist in the open source world. in fact, thats the whole point.

Name: Anonymous 2005-06-14 6:54

Ugh anarchy (immature potheads, scum of the society). Ugh communism (no freedom, lazy asses, hunger).

Why can't we say "free software" is like "free software"?

BSD is anarchy, GPL is like stalinism

I encourage those reading this thread to read Eric Raymond's writings on the subject of Open Source Software:

Dude look at him. How can you take someone like that seriously? If he doesn't have the brains not to look like he just came out of the jungle after ten years then I don't really want to know what he has to say.

That's great, you're on a PROGRAMMING board and you care more about how people look than how they think.

He's a GUI programmer :P

I think all this communist stuff is bullshit. Commies want to say "<insert something good> is like communism!" just to make that piece of crap sound good and feasible. Breaking news: it blows. If open sauce is like communism, then friendship is like communism, feeding cats is like communism, and hell, jerking off to hentai I downloaded freely from 4chan is like communism. WTF.

If it doesn't look like a human being then I'm not listening to what it has to say and those GNU hippies certainly don't.

you all fail for knowing nothing about communist theory, nothing about the blood shed by the aristocracy to get rid of it, nothing about europe's failed revolutions, nothing about how the ussr, china etc have nothign to do with communism, nothing about the spanish communes that were eradicated, nothing about the incredible propaganda by the usa to make 'communist' a curse word,... in short, you know nothing. but god forbid that anyone actually open a history/economy book and educate herself on these matters instead of spouting shit on the internet as if you were there when they wrote the theory and did the deeds

Lol, because you demonstrate such wisdom there. I bet you look like a fat, greasy, unshaven worker who lost his work in the industrial revolution and now want everybody else to pay for you so you can eat crap for free.
