The GPL is a trap, set by the leftist moonbat Richard Stallman, otherwise known as “the father of free software” whose stated “ultimate goal” is “to make proprietary software obsolete”. Hopefully the contractual elements of his tricky license which he calls “copyleft” verses normal “copyright” will be deemed as unlawful without getting signatures on the dotted line.
Thank you for being so predictable.
No words of condemnation, I see, for the company trying to steal other people’s work and sell it as their own?
Yea hopefully the guys who put their sweat into creating BusyBox can have their work stolen by another company without the compensation that they the copyright holders demand...
I didn't sign for the license for thousands of dollars of software I've bought. Does that mean I'm free to do whatever I want?
In any case, you are missing a BIG concept here. Let's say that a judge tosses out the ENTIRE GPL in this case, the whole thing is declared unenforceable. Where does this leave the company?
It leaves them distributing copyrighted works without a license.
