The OSI defines 10 points which define open source:

1. Free Redistribution
2. Source Code
3. Derived Works
4. Integrity of The Author's Source Code
5. No Discrimination Against Persons or Groups
6. No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor
7. Distribution of License
8. License Must Not Be Specific to a Product
9. License Must Not Restrict Other Software
10. License Must Be Technology-Neutral

Are these communism?

CAPITALISM MEANS
+ lets our source fucking everything, until our country
has no fucking jobs and our people end up living of welfare
cus its cheaper to pay a third world country to do
every single fucking thing for you.
+ lets do research until we find a way to put our brain
into a robot and with the press of a button = ORGASM (with this i mean, lets shape human life into something not so very human just for the heck of the pleasure/confort)...

and + peanu butter jelly in ur pants

opensource means decentralized development, just like out sourcing, OS is Capitalism, the fact that they dont charge
is trying to make this world a better world as more than one country see it... and because europe is against copyright
for software. ok thx byeee

Linus speaks:
http://linux.sys-con.com/read/38151.htm

"The term 'financial gain' includes receipt, or expectation of receipt, of anything of value, including the receipt of other copyrighted works."

This is from U.S. Code Collection, Title 17 (copyrights), Chapter 1, Section 101: "Definitions."
[...]
And note how copyright law expressly includes "the expectation of receipt" of anything of value, and expressly mentions "receipt of other copyrighted works" as such a thing of value. And that's the very definition of "financial gain," as far as U.S. copyright law is concerned.

Now guess what the GPL is all about?

What is [spoiler]/prog/[spoiler]'s opinion on the GPL?

Should I use the GPL Public License, or should I just add a clause to the effect of:

# Permission is granted to use, modify and distribute
# this code freely, provided that this license clause
# remains intact.

It's funny because the fucking programming board knows more about communism than any other board in 4chan.

Also, yes, it is communistic - and also, yes, that's why it's epic win.

GPL isn't communist, programming has nothing to do with the proletariat. Free Software, by extension, also isn't communist.

BSD could be said to be anarcho-capitalist, which really equates to capitalist without profit. To me, BSD seems to just mean "you wrote this so your code could get buttfucked by whatever ENTERPRISE SOLUTIONS PROVIDER hijacks it first". GPL, on the other hand, actually helps the community protect itself. GPL is true anarchist, in the style of all of the notable anarchist thinkers of both the early 20th century and contemporary figures, besides those fucking nutbag anarcho-primitavists.

Still, GPL is too weak. What the anarchist/free software movement really needs is a way to use the copyright system to steal copyright from other people that haven't licensed their code under the GPL, until all code is truly free.

communism = forced redistribution of goods
sharing your stuff has obsolutely nothing to do with communism and  is not prohibited in any way in a free market system
does offering the IE for free make microsoft a communist enterprise? no!

anarcho-capitalism is by no means capitalism without profit, it is capitalism in its most unrestricted form, where laws are replaced with the desires of the powerful - in this case, the rich.

therefore, we can deduce that >>68 is made of fail

yeah, that should have been capitalism without profit by the producers, since there's no protection against, say, M$ jacking your code.

``Anarcho''-capitalism is the sickest production of the corporatist class. How can you have anarchy without mutual aid or community?

But anyways, blah blah blah, lets free some software.
