   I propose a new name and splash screen for XMPP: Jerry Springer IM. The fastest and most efficient way to argue on the internet. The last man who talks shit but ragequits fast wins a ThinkPad X60 with a free Marlboro odor and dodgy eBay battery.

     To be honest, a fair amount of pushover licensed software has proprietary components as nothing in the license that stops that, so you pretty much have to check the software itself, check the free software directory (and hope that the submitter got it right), or use software with a license that ensures proprietary components aren't allowed.

     @Pawlicker I remember back on 8chan/tech/, they took the whole "cuck license" meme to the absolute extreme that they wouldn't even USE software licensed under a permissive license. Like nobody realized that you can still use the original version even if there are proprietary forks.
