Author successfully DMCA's GPL'd work

I'm glad people are stepping up and talk about this. CoC's are shit.

damn incels

BTFO!

Did this author's code include ANY GPL code from anywhere else? If so, he's in violation of the GPL himself.

>Nobody cares or should care about copyright violation.
They do and should.
On small personal levels, sure, but at corporate levels it's a pretty big problem as it can cause large losses of money. There's a reason companies tend to target distributors of copyright material instead of the individuals who download it.

Write some code that does the same shit. That's fine. It'll probably be like the original code but as long as it ISN'T the original code it isn't a violation

>Did this author's code include ANY GPL code from anywhere else?
No. So he is fine.

>Feminists
All reditors, and they are such cancerous faggots.

>mikeeusa
hello there

nobody is going to enforce the GPL if freetards start getting uppity

>men that stand up against free-loading women who just entered the scene are incels
Kill yourself

Why were people empowered when trannyboot did the same thing, but this guy rightfully does it, and people try to shame him?

This. Sending false DMCA notifications is illegal BTW, hope he have deep pockets.

>cause large losses of money
Try to stay competitive without the government babysitting you, fucking totalitarian.

>be a small business trying to make a buck/carve out a market
>big business just takes your software/code and sells it as their own
>heh nothing personal kid

Fun fact.
This guy made a game about killing roasties etc. It was of deleted from sourceforge. Mike was angry enough to write to esr, stallman etc. In ironic twist some feminist website(which helped take it down) published an archive of Mike's works.
esr.ibiblio.org/?p=1310

So this guy is an actual creep. Ironically it's people like him who are why they feel a CoC is needed so he's probably just creating a feedback loop.

>So this guy is an actual creep
What gave you thus idea?
>Ironically it's people like him who are why they feel a CoC
Ironically free as in soeech doesn't mean free as in speech.

>takes
Theft is illegal. If you've sold the software to them and are salty that they're using it, then it's your fault for failing to maximize profit.

>creep
Here goes that non-word again

problem is that your licence is nothing more than some words. You can do what you like, tell someone to stop doing something, to take work down or you'll.... you'll... you'lll spend a shit load of money on enforcing the licence. Money that, unless your licence is protecting something valuable, you just dont have. Would you really divert tens of thousands of dollars from a source of income or a bank account, to protect something that isnt a source of revenue? No, because it wouldnt make sense. Litigation is expensive for a reason. they dont want trivial cases clogging up the courts

who wrote this? where is this from?

Well, you can't transfer copyright ownership without a notarized signature, so regardless of what a license says the author retains full ownership of whatever they write. At least in the US.

I do like how the trannies are panicking and trying to host outside of the US and force developers to hand over the copyrights, though. Basically admitting that they're pure evil.

>trying to host outside of the US and force developers to hand over the copyrights
If you can't create, you steal

has CoC really taken hold? it would disrupt too much

people should do more of this, so that DMCA gets kill

>gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#CanDeveloperThirdParty

I remember mono being gpl and companies probably spending tons to have it licensed to them under a proprietary licence

The keyword here is exclusive, those companies probably didn't want to deal with the GPL so they asked the copyright owner to offer a different license. You can release your code in multiple licenses.

>Theft is illegal.
So is breach of copyright.

>mikeusa
Unfortunately that guy is downright mentally unstable, this does nothing for people who actually care but provide a way to paint them all as insane and dangerous.

Yes, and they've started kicking out contributors because of that based on very old personal media presence they've had at one point.

Not when patents are involved.
Also it becomes tricky if the code has ever been seen, you need bullshit like whitebox engineering to make sure it's legit.

I don't even know what sexism means anymore.

it's what ever women and degenerates don't like

It isn't unless you're in a cucked country. Theft is something completely different from being GIVEN data.

What possible reason would I have to contribute to this worthless non-program? Go to

I agree with the guy, but he doesn't argue right

What a cunt, cant even handle a little banter.

He can roll that up real tight and stick it up his arse for all anyone will care.
Also:
>Jow Forums
>cheering on attacks on software freedom
I'd like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Jow Forums, is in fact, Jow Forumsg/, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Jow Forums plus Jow Forums...

>
I will continue to rescind the license from anyone who adds a "Code of
Conduct" anywhere near my code (to "fight sexism".). I wholeheartedly
/support/ sexism, as-long as it is not against men. Since men are now
being assaulted as thanks for their ceaseless decades-long work on
opensource by people who did not put in the time, men should /support
sexism/ by revoking license to their gratis licensed copyrighted code
from any project that adds a "Code of Conduct".

Based and redpilled.

that's why I’ve recently taken to calling it Jow Forums plus Jow Forums

>To release a nonfree program is always ethically tainted, but legally there is no obstacle to your doing this. If you are the copyright holder for the code, you can release it under various different non-exclusive licenses at various times.

So did he actually revoke any code at all?

Anyone can send an email to the kernel mailing list.

What did he mean by this?

I just googled op's stupid shit and it's the same guy with the script he has like 20 users and has been constantly bitching about it and posting on new accounts and everyone just laughs at him

So, GPL can stop the CoC? Wow

Yes but you have to be an expert in IP rights laws to understand the exact mechanism of how that could be done. It would mean those who try could end up in court - can you imagine judges saying "so you are telling me that if the owner does this it will mean x number of companies going bust and huge swathes of the internet dropping out" and the judge thinks "well I dont care who owns it we cant have that happening"
