   @puppygirlhornypost2 @vermaden It would be nice if it got more attention, more #FreeSoftware the better. But nothing stop FreeBSD from using #GNU GPL drivers, it is a choice they have actively made (for better or worse ...).

   Drivers are probably the hardest thing when it comes to free systems, we all want to support the Frobnicator .. but having to write it in 10 different ways isn't really useful.

     @vermaden the #GNU GPL has everything to do with freedom, and literally nothing to do with communism. I old enough to have grown up during those times, I can only presume your not and talking out of your ass.

     GPL has nothing to do with freedom ... but has lots in common with communism.

     @vermaden So that means I can violate the terms of the 3-clause BSD license? E.g., remove any attribution to you?

     You do not understand "freedom"?

     I do.

     I means: do whatever the fuck you want.
