gpl=communism

why do linux users think that it's acceptable for richard stallman to tell everybody else what they can and can't do with the code they write?.

gpltards want all code to be open source. they claim there is no reason to ever write closed source code. i.e. they are TELLING us what we can and can't do with our own work. they actively try to destroy closed source software and start hate campaigns against those who choose to exercise their freedom to produce closed source software.

most gpltards haven't ever written a line of code in their lives, yet they think they can tell me what to do with my code? fuck you. when you grow up and enter the real world you will come to value things like FREEDOM and CHOICE. Nobody over the age of 25 believes in the GPL because by that point even the biggest retard has realised that telling other people what to do with their code is immoral.

the true freedom is being able to create something, and do what I want with it, without thousands of freetards attacking me, spamming my website, lobbying government to encourage the theft of my code. this brutal raping of creative intellectuals is as bad as anything stalin did. freetards thought 1984 was an instruction manual: force everybody to surrender their most important assets - their thoughts - to the crawling mass of freetards so they can steal them while the real creators are left penniless in the gutter, not free to think a single thought without it being stolen be freetards. If it wasn't for freetard distro maintainers and devleopers actively trying to prevent flash running, flash would work fine on linux. it is the attitude of the freetards that limits the linux users freedom to use flash.

closed source is freedom. open source is communism. JOIN ME IN PREVENTING THE RAPE OF CREATIVE FREEDOM. SMASH THE GPL.

You can do whatever you want with your work; even if you release it as GPL you always distribute it under other licenses. GPL does not take the code you write away from you, but it stop you from taking other people's code away from them if they choose GPL.

gentlemen, I want you to read this post carefully and analytically. it's an example of how your typical communist tries to make freedom seem like slavery, and portray their limitations on freedom as the only way to live.

the flaws in the argument should be immediately apparent to the educated reader.

Yeah like you can run flash on your linux box with no problems?

So why do I have to adhere to the GPL or any licensing shpeel? I am required to adhere to any kind of language-tied licenses (e.g., Sun explicitly does not want me to use Java in the construction, operation, or maintenance of a nuclear facility; I am not making that up), but what happens or is supposed to happen if you write code but don't use any explicit licenses?

Because your country has intellectual property laws, which predates communism, and is actively defended by "free market capitalists".

Also, how can you complain about the GPL and not proprietary software? Have you read the Windows EULA? It's not easy reading.

Sun explicitly does not want me to use Java in the construction, operation, or maintenance of a nuclear facility; I am not making that up
First of all, you are, I just checked the Java Agreement. Secondly, big fucking deal, are you involved in the construction, operation, or mainentance of a nuclear facility? Even assuming you are, Sun would probably license it to you, but you would need to talk to them directly.

Both questions in my post were intended to mean the same thing, the second one building on the first, but I can see how the context is ambiguous. Bad on my part.

"... but what happens or is supposed to happen if you write code but don't use any explicit licenses?"

Read part 3. "Restrictions"

Yes, you're right, somehow my eyes missed that sentence. My question still stands, "Are you involved in the construction, operation, or maintenance of a nuclear facility?" If not, I wouldn't worry about it.
I don't blame Sun for including this clause, it wouldn't be good publicity if a nuclear plant failed and the software guys blamed it on Java.

You confusing a couple of things.

1. Having a choice is not the same as having freedom. If I capture and imprison you then give you the options of death by firing squad, lethal injection, concrete shoes into a lake or electric chair, will any of these choices result in your freedom?
2. The reason why people write proprietary software is to maintain control over the users of the software. Users that choose to accept proprietary software cannot have freedom. Proprietary software is a SOCIAL problem that results in USERS being subject to helplessness and division. Users are being invited to give up their freedom in exchange for severely limited usage permissions to a computer program.

>>16
That's the Java binary licence. You can get the source version which is licensed under the GNU GPLv2 + exceptions. This usage restriction doesn't exist in the GPL version

Which sane person would want to use Java to operate a nuclear plant anyway?

So what if its slow and a little verbose? It's syntax is far superior to everything else.

Wouldn't safety be more important? Using a slower language shouldn't be an issue for most tasks which are not truly speed critical.
