    @HopperMCS @Yoruka @rher @Zergling_man >Arch server in my homelab using Jellyfin, chosen for its GPL license.
    Jellyfin is claimed to be GPLv2-ambigious, but I suspect Jellyfin contains proprietary software and therefore the developers infringe each others license (just like how Linux developers infringes each others GPLv2-only license by adding proprietary software or developing proprietary derivative work).

    >Primarily you're just mad about the BSD license.
    There is no singular "BSD license".

    There is the BSD 4-clause, 3-clause, 2-clause, 1-clase and 0-clause.

    All are weak licenses that don't defend the users freedom and 4-clause BSD is incompatible with all GPL family licenses.

    >Linux is a clone of the UNIX kernel
    False.

    The only thing that Linux cloned was the monolithic design, everything else was written from scratch.

    >GNU is a clone of the UNIX userland.
    False.

    GNU set out to write a wholly free OS from scratch, but compatibility for Unix API's was implemented so free software written for Unix would compile and work.

    GNU started writing a kernel in early 1991, while Linus only started writing a kernel for GNU in late 1991.

    >Last I heard Android doesn't use GNU
    >It doesn't change the fact that my "mobile phone" is Linux
    google's mobile runs Android, which happens to use the kernel, Linux, but has a lot of other software, considering that Linux is useless by itself; https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/init/main.c#n1522

    You can install GNU on Android via Termux and it's suddenly less useless.

    >created because the devs think GNU is too bloated
    That was not why BusyBox was written - it was written so that garbage routers with only a few MiB of storage could run a clone of GNU.

    Android It does not use BusyBox - it uses toybox, as that had a weak license, but toybox is as useful as a box of toys.

    An OS is more than a kernel and a coreutils - Android also contains all the other software it needs to run - with all inferior implementations of what GNU/Linux has to offer, all under weak licenses.
