@coolbean @fiore >most concise way
>Says "All rights reserved." - which is explicitly stating that it's proprietary software and then proceeds to have free terms below?
The BSD 3-clause is quite a defective license - it misses many important legal things, such as patents, while the GPLv3 does cover patents.
The whole idea of the BSD 3-clause is that the user's freedom is to be later be taken by proprietary software developers, as they can wield the power of proprietary restrictions, with only mere credit required.
Meanwhile, the GPL family of licenses says no to proprietary restrictions - full freedom for all the users is ensured.In conversation from freesoftwareextremist.com permalink -

For example GNU Bash is the most secure and least buggy shell that has plenty of useful functionality that exists.
If you just look at the git log, there are pages and pages of bug fixes; https://cgit.git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/bash.git/log/In conversation from freesoftwareextremist.com permalink Attachments

@fiore How is enhanced GNU/Freedom the death of computing?
cal in util-linux is sad - it doesn't even have internationalization support.
gcal does, too bad it's missing moon runes translations; https://www.gnu.org/software/gcal/manual/html_node/Internationalization.html
But that can be fixed.In conversation from freesoftwareextremist.com permalink Attachments

Is it that exciting, you're perturbed by not being able to compile and install it for at least 20 minutes?In conversation from freesoftwareextremist.com permalink -

@sicp @sampler >"Bob" already keeps the proprietary bits out of my computer through the sheer force of his will
Slack uses only proprietary versions of Linux and includes many proprietary programs by default, for example the proprietary xv image viewer.
Smoking is proprietary degeneracy, so why would I use a logo of the symbol of freedom combined with degeneracy?In conversation from freesoftwareextremist.com permalink -
