@m The infidelity only increases.

>you admit your against the users having some rights? Making it restrictive
The users deserve the 4 freedoms (https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html#four-freedoms) and also deserve the 4 freedoms unfettered by further restrictions.

The so called "rights" to apply restrictions you write about have *not* been granted by the government.

>if the government didn't have IP
Yes, the government doesn't have imaginary property, as it doesn't exist; https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/not-ipr.en.html

>then there should be no problem with me not sharing source code i modify
There is no problem if the user wants to use the software privately without publishing it, as that's part of freedom.

The government still denies even personal modifications without permission, but that permission is granted.

There is one license that demands that the software is published for many private uses, which makes that license proprietary.


If you mean you want to add malware and distribute only the binary and refuse to ever provide the source code, the government says that's not allowed, as their copyright law says that the license terms for the software must be followed.
