free as in freedom he's ok with people selling software.

Uh, it is. What software you might need can you not get online?
Xavier Watson
Suck my programming dick, you communist faggot
Asher Carter
no. stallman gets the bullet just like the rest of the marxists.

Is a man not entitled to the fruits of his labor by the sweat of his brow? No! Cries the neckbeard. It belongs to everyone!

Down with intellectual property, but get all the creators onto Patreon-like services so their fans can support them.
Colton Watson
He tried to warn us, but we didn't listen.

if you cannot protect your intellectual property, you don't deserve to make money off of it
this applies to chinese knockoffs of physical items.

Said no one who's ever tried to be a software engineer.

Because profiting from artificial monopolies drives the industry.
And no, free alternative software is always inspired by hate and spite, thus being necessarily inferior. E. g. see maya/max vs blender or PS vs gimp (lol).

>Business will stop paying developers to develop software because of the software license
Yeah, not gonna happen
Free as in FREEDOM, not free as in beer. If you can't see the source code, and modify it and redistribute your changes, than it's not free

>A man owning the fruits of his own labor requires a state-backed monopoly.
No, you shouldn't have an exclusive right to a certain piece of code just because you came up with it.

The step from working for a pizza to working for free is short...

If you got nothing to hide you should open source it, coward.
Easton James
Those two comparisons are fucking retarded.
GIMP vs PS is a no contest situation, but blender vs maya/max is actually a run for your money.
Christopher White
It this to get around google and censorship?
Because if so, i'm in.
Jaxson Harris
Or you could protect your intellectual property and not go hungry.
Logan Watson
Because it results in shit software. People enjoy actually getting paid for putting in hundreds of hours of work.
Gabriel Gutierrez
Sounds like pedophile reasoning to me...
Michael Edwards
Because you still have a backdoor built in every Intel and AMD cpu, so using shitty software won't give you freedom anyway.
Jason Martin
Takes one to know one, kiddie fiddler.

What a surprise, 2nd rate knockoff software full of untested cases and security holes because of a lack of exposure to the public at large. Probably coded by favela monkeys like yourself or by real engineers in the states with the couple hours they're given a week for OSS dev while they put actual work into their innovative and proprietary technology. You know, the stuff that pays for the free dev on everything else.
Jack Watson
What are you hiding in that code of yours? Would they let you close to schools if it became public?
Sure sounds fishy that you only can earn a living if none knows what you do.
