The dominance of libertarianism, and pro corporate licensing within the FOSS world is disgusting and annoying me. I don’t have any articles or anything that is hard proof. But I do have this github post and graph I guess

And the other thing I have? A hunch no-i-in-pezza

I’m glad the software is free, but come the fuck on. “Problematic” for fucking who?? Google? It better be!

Thank you dessalines for having a spine, and choosing a proper license.

And the site that they link? It’s not only highly pro corporate but also fucking lying!!!

It doesn’t prevent you from selling shit!!! Shut the fuck up!!! I’m not making my work a way for you to easily profit, give shit back or fuck off maddened

They can keep making the shit that they do, but I ain’t committing a single line of code to that fucker.

    Hate to break it to you but:

    I used to work in software and several times we’d use something, I’d check the license and read something about how companies are required to pay for it, I’d ask a senior coworker “do we have a commercial license?” and they’d read the license and say we didn’t need it because of (legal technical mumbo jumbo I didn’t understand) and I, junior dev, overworked and precariously positioned, would just take their word for it. In retrospect I think what actually happens is these for profit corps spit in the face of licenses like that and will just try to get away with as much as they can because the odds of getting caught are low and who has the resources to sue them and make them pay?
