Companies can use linux and other GPL software free of charge, they can make money of it without giving anything back. They can even sell GNU/Linux systems with their proprietary software hardware and make money without giving anything back. kek enjoy your cuck-os with your cuck license.
It's funny how you faggots call people that license their work under free BSD and MIT license for cucks, because companies can make money off their software and in the next moment brag about how companies (that make a killing) use linux (google, apple and amazon servers come to mind). top kek. nice cognitie dissonanse faggots And you'll just jump with you if you could make your company switch to running Linux, save them money off the free labour of the GPL cuck boys
Legally, they have to give the source code of all GPL software they ship. That includes modifications. So they are giving back.

It's like the GPL crowd think that Sony couldn't have made their own linux distro and added the same propietary code they added to their FreeBSD fork and made money and not given anything back to gpl software. I bet if Sony did they'd all brag about it, but because they chose BSD instead of GPL Linnux these socialist scumbags bitch about BSD being cucks
Daniel King
No. BSD is cuck-license. BSD = "corporations, get my work for free"
>Large companies can save a substantial amount of money by using open source software products cuck
Isaiah Mitchell
The moment they adapt the system for their hardware, they put money into it. They are required to give you the fruits of said money - the changes - back if you ever use their product.
Cameron Brooks
As long as they don't sell or distribute the kernel patches only in binary, I'm fine with that. [2]

Corporation uses BSD-like licensed software > cuck license Corporation implementing their stuff > thousands of people using their product > critical vulnerability found because it's trash software > thousands of people in danger I think I like the first option more.
Thomas Campbell
Damn you got so fucking butthurt about that other BSD thread you had to make another one?
Jacob Morales
>It's funny how you faggots call people that license their work under free BSD and MIT license for cucks No we don't. We call proprietary software cuckware because the company is using "your" software like a bull uses your wife.
User is the cuck, not creator or software owner. Creator is the wife's dad in this analogy.

So how did Theo pay his bills for electricity in 2016? I hope Sony paid him a couple dollars for using OpenBSD.

They don't have to release the source code if they don't modify it. It's already released. And they don't have to release modified code if they don't redistribute it.

>They don't have to release the source code if they don't modify it. They must provide the source code (if asked), even if they do not modify it.
If Sony used GPL code for a game platform, they would have to release their code mods, and everybody would be using emulators. Therefore they use the BSD cuck license.
William Moore
If a company uses your GPL software to make money they are using your software like a bull uses your wife.
BSD you may clone my wife and add your own feature and claim the clone as your own and make clones of your clone which you sell for money
GPL you may use my wife and add to her, but not claim her as your own, she belongs to everybody for free with all the added stuff as well
Dylan Taylor
Now your just making stuff up.
Jeremiah Stewart
No. That's the basic idea behind GPL.
James Wright
Every post you just get stupider. It's only amusing to a point, though.
Dominic Campbell
why are GPLtards like this
i don't get them
Jacob Stewart
Have you even read the GPL? Don't bother, I doubt you'd understand it.
Sebastian Harris
They raised about 300-500.000 USD I think in 2016
Wyatt Martin
>If a company uses your GPL software to make money Nigga, lemmie just stop you right there. You're either completely retarded, underaged, or a bad troll. Possibly more than one.
Christian Scott
$ cat gpl-3.0.txt | grep -v '^$' | wc -l 553
point taken, I don't want to blindly use license that I don't understand
Aiden Lopez
Naw, we ain't deleting retarded posts today.
John Gutierrez
ITT people think GPLv3 doesn't exist
Jackson Richardson
How can you see deleted posts?
William Hill
Congrats on understanding Sup Forums as well as you do the GPL.
Eli Morris
Enlighten me
Christopher Cooper
No, it's far more entertaining to just let you shitpost about stuff you know nothing about. So, please continue.
Elijah Allen
Exactly. Stallman is a cuck.
Matthew Sanchez
Oh, you didn't refresh or something
Easton Torres
Yeah, or something. Anyway, you were talking about cuck licenses?
Kevin Lewis
okay.
ok.
ok!
ok...
ok!
>ok!
ok.
Jackson Foster
No. It's just people call BSD people cucks, they aren't, they just like todo what they do and don't mind if others use their code and add their own code to distribute for free or to sell. Just as a GPL coderes aren't cuck if a company uses their software. Just turning it around showing the same insults can be used on themselves using the same logic. P.S. Not sharing how you got that is not very free/full disclosure. Got source code?
Evan Butler
So, in other words, you listened to a bunch of know-nothing kiddos on Sup Forums and trolled yourself. You took jokes and "meemays" too seriously.
Justin Roberts
Are you the guys that hacked Sup Forums earlier?
Hunter Cruz
Nah, I only hack Google, and then only when I need a backup copy of my data.
Christian Thomas
wow cool stuff bro
Jordan Allen
tfw gpl has been reinforced in court and all people who redistribute must provide source and any additions upstream
bsd doesnt force these obligations
if you find a company who is infringing on the GPL please report them to the FSF
if you have personal interest in defending you can sue on behalf of the foundation or GNU itself
id suggest getting legal advice from the fsf since they have people who specifically understand the GPL and are versed in the court of law
