@SuperDicq @icedquinn so, "this is an issue of not having money"
because patents cost money
lawyers to defend you cost money

@kirby @SuperDicq Yeah,and you gonna pay for every OSS developer's legal fees when corps ignore that?

@SuperDicq
Copyleft does not prevent corps from taking what you made, corrupting it, and using it for their own profit.

"Why is that a bad thing? Other people deserve to make money too, right?"

This is how inventors starve. This is WHY inventors starve.

The simple fact is, no one wants a thumb in the eye for making something for the world.

Your statements are hyperbolic at best, misleading lies at worst

@SuperDicq

"What layer of trust? Clearly Louis does not trust us at all, or he would've not chosen such a restrictive license."

You didn't understand what i meant

"Yes, I do. I found the reasons for the developer doing what they did very petty and stupid."

Yeah, and i bet you think that one guy starving and letting his life fall to pieces in the name of open source software deserved to be cut out of his own lifes work and thrown on the street.
(1/2)

@SuperDicq remember left-pad? Remember all the other times that a fully open source developer tried to defend their work, and it was taken from them?

Nah man, hes taking steps to make sure he doesnt get fisted like the others.
Sure, its not FOSS, but it is open source, and thats a layer of trust no corp will ever give.

If you dont take steps to protect your work, the world will take it from you, resell it, then punish you for daring say you helped.

@Mrfunkedude when i click on a post, to view it's replies, it should reach out and actually find everyone who's replied to that thread and pull their posts, not just folks you've already federated with before.
I follow people where i will click on a post that has 5 replies. Then open the original post, on the origin website, and there will be 500 posts.
