We've said it once, we've said it a thousand times. In the free software movement,
we stand for freedom for the users of software. We formulated our views by looking at what freedoms are necessary for a good way of life, and permit useful programs to foster a community of goodwill, cooperation, and collaboration. Our criteria for free software specify the freedoms that a program's users need so that they can cooperate in a community.
The premises of the GPL are simple: if you wish to distribute the licensed software 1) grant your recipients the same rights as you have received 2) give them a copy of the GPL itself so that they are also aware of their rights 3) if for any reason you (as the distributor) cannot comply with the license, you will not have permission to convey this software to a third party.
All the legalese exists for people who are confused by these premises.
Also, ad hominem doesn't look good for serios busniss. 8/10, because your worth it.
