I couldn't give a shit about free software or it's benefits, or lack thereof. I just want to fap in peace. Fuck off.

I’m aware, it’s exactly why I say the BSD license is superior to the GPT license. BSD = capitalism GPT = communism

Please don't use the term “freeware” as a synonym for “free software.” The term “freeware” was used often in the 1980s for programs released only as executables, with source code not available. Today it has no particular agreed-on definition.
When using languages other than English, please avoid borrowing English terms such as “free software” or “freeware.” It is better to translate the term “free software” into your language.
By using a word in your own language, you show that you are really referring to freedom and not just parroting some mysterious foreign marketing concept. The reference to freedom may at first seem strange or disturbing to your compatriots, but once they see that it means exactly what it says, they will really understand what the issue is.

>”freedom” >you literally can’t do what you want with the software because of a laundry list of rules and license compatibilities Freedom is for people, not software

Both are intellectual property licenses and hence both are Capitalism >but there is no copyright in free market economics! Sure there is, if you violate the purchasing agreement you violate the NAP and they can come and shoot you.

Screw free software, who's that semen demon?

Are people not free to use the software they own as they please?

They are free to use the software as per the contract they accepted when purchasing it.

>he rents software
smelly dumb, normie cuck
Cooper Perry
I'm not saying I rent software, I'm saying that there's a lot of software that has a lot of restrictions which people buy anyway and then proceed to complain about.

>rebuttal? You've barely even made an argument, but sure I'll bite
>...you are either a cuck who doesn't.... not an argument, ad hominem
>... this will encourage others to contribute to society instead of being basement dwelling NEETs... no facts to back this up, not to mention it's a straw man anyway since freeware existing does not imply that nothing will ever need to be paid for, nor does it take into account that proprietary software can simply be pirated anyway. And as we know from plenty of piracy research those downloads won't convert to sales if you decide to start charging money.
> ...there is no reason to give things away for free to strangers you'll never meet... Again you haven't really made an argument here. Also, there are plenty of reasons to give things away for free with varying levels of altruistic or self-serving benefits, not that a reason would be needed anyway.
None of this matters because your "arguments" against freeware ultimately have no effect on anyone's day to day life and it's clear you're either suffering from some sort of mental illness or trolling. I sincerely hope it's the latter for your sake but I have a feeling it's the former.

What's wrong with that? I'm going to die one day man, why should I work hard for everything I want all the time? That sucks. There are other people who are more passionate about this sort of thing than I am, why should I spend more time doing a shittier job than them when they'll do it anyway?
