@eric did you know Sierra uses ext4

@not_benis 11/10 bait, made me respond.
As ext4 is a filesystem, anyone can write their own ext4 driver under whatever license they want.
It's rather a crime to forbid the sale, or limit the sale price of any software under any license in the GPL family.

@eric it's also a crime to sell GPL software

@not_benis It's incredible how how many "people" think macos is based off "Linux" and don't bother to realize how it's proprietized BSD software (many such cases).

@eric >That's like saying an x86 CPU is a RISC CPU wrapped in a translation core
As far as I can tell, few x86 CPU's are like that.
Most AMD64 CPUs are a RISC CPU with microcode slapped on top, that turns AMD64 CISC instructions into RISC micro-ops, then executes them (although certain instructions are still executed with fixed-function hardware).

@not_benis What kind of argument is that? That's like saying an x86 CPU is a RISC CPU wrapped in a translation core (I see this every 2 months or so)

@eric I don't see anything incorrect in my statement.
I tried to see if "Open Software Foundation Mach kernel 7.3" was released under a BSD license (and which one) to counter interject, too bad that's not documented online.

@Suiseiseki @not_benis Umm it's ackyually a modified Mach kernel with BSD userland on top

@eric Yes, I will be happy if you write AMD64 when you mean AMD64 and x86 when you mean x86.

Allow me to rephrase it.
If you can make profit off GPL software without breaking the terms of the license, you're 10,000IQ, otherwise you're just another retard in the cattle not much different from Microsoft or Apple.

@eric
If you can make profit off selling GPL software, you're not a criminal, you're 10,000IQ, based and you deserve all my respect.

@sally What kind of answer is that?
I checked the source myself and it seems to be the actual source code at first glance, plus they don't develop on github either, plus; "Most of the design and development of Ardour happens in realtime via discussions on IRC" (the biggest strike against freedom seems to be the CoC).
Most files have a proper GPLv2-or-later header on them, although I see some sloppyness under tools and luasession, with no license headers - although I'd best wait for scancode-toolkit to finish scanning.

@Suiseiseki
The odds it does are higher than the odds it doesn't.
