@lunarised If you're used by proprietary software and tell people about how you're proud to be used, that is supporting the usage of proprietary software.

@pomstan @sysrq because people like to pretend that because I use vscode, I don't support the use of OSS

@lunarised Maybe, but vscodium is not vscode.

I'm fairly confident that you can't even program in many languages in vscodium without installing proprietary plugins.

It's 4 freedoms.

We have the freedom to take showers, some of us exercise the freedom to not take a proprietary shower mind you.

Well if squirt is piss
And women squirt when they orgasm

Then women can't piss because in my experience they are unable to reach orgasm

@thatbrickster >There's a reason why most GPL code isn't adopted
We frankly don't care in the slightest about popularity.

It's a good thing how hard proprietary software developers seethe because they can't use free software unless it remains free.

If a single program has became free due to a license in the GPL family, that has made all the defensive licensing worth it - but it has happened many times.

>Unfortunately this ties devs back from using it in the first place
It's a good thing that developers aren't able to turn free software unfree.

>MIT/BSD/ISC is therefore desirable as it avoids a legal minefield.
You've got it backwards.

Those licenses are very badly written and are legally questionable - it's just that most people who select pushover licenses tend to not enforce their copyright.

The GPLv2 and GPLv3 are very carefully written to be legally clear as to what the license conditions are, so it's legally trivially to comply with the terms.

You only run into a legal minefield if you're a scummy proprietary malware author who tries at getting away with intentionally infringing copyright and that's a good thing.

@sysrq The GPL tries to protect the user from abuse by developers. Unfortunately this ties devs back from using it in the first place, MIT/BSD/ISC is therefore desirable as it avoids a legal minefield.

@lunarised Free Software folks should accept 'cuck licences' as legitimate. There's a reason why most GPL code isn't adopted, although I understand what GPL tries to do.

@thatbrickster >GPL software feels silo'd
I would honestly quite like it if I had a silo full of GNU/Missiles that ran 100% free software.

>why people find/make their own things rather than adopt GPL code.
That's their loss, not ours.

The free software has been crafted to perfection and it shall not be defiled.

Stopped reading there. There's a reason why GPL software feels silo'd and this attitude contributes to why people find/make their own things rather than adopt GPL code.
