Goals of OpenBSD

GNU/Linux*

but what if he meant BSD/Linux?

Short story, they don't. At least not as much as you'd want to believe. DHL still runs FORTRAN stuff inside VM's that run on Windows, last I checked.

Because if they didn't have ideological disagreements with GNU then BSD would have no reason to exist.

There's no such thing.

Banks run windowsXP, pay exorbitant fees to M$ for security updates, and pass the cost along to customers. \
Thanks banks.

Licensing an operating system under a cuck license is the weirdest thing ever. why would you want to let people use your OS code with giving anything back?

Because they're too cheap to update atms

they can't stole your code if you don't write anything.

GPL can be used for any purpose and has no restrictions, only additional freedoms.

It's like complaining that a bill of rights restricts my freedom to murder people. When in fact it protects yours and others freedom to live without being murdered.

but what I do with my copy of the software has no effect on what you do with yours

What is the difference between open and free bsd?

Yep. GPL lets you use it for any purpose.

Go ahead and use busybox on your dirty bomb.

what if the purpose is to distribute it with a proprietary library

then you are having an affect on what others can do with their software and have taken their freedoms. contradictory to your original point.

For corporate use purposes. They think GPL is holding back corporates because GPL asks changes for code to be made public.

You can do whatever you want with GPL code, except harm others by making it proprietary.

For example you can use GPL code in your software, but never distribute it to anyone (for example internal company software) and it is fine. Once you try to distribute to someone else, now you are harming someone else.

my point is it doesn't change the software you're using or your version and you can use it however you like

Have you ever wondered why people watch cuck porn? It's their fetish.

*BSD is basically no license at all and is not a Free software license because it can be used and abused by non-Free software.

*BSD's thinking is diseased and full of shit and the fucking featureless, lolrandom clusterfuck of an OS with zero fucking consistency and sense is worthless even for servers.

To remove politics from the realm of software, since it doesn't belong there. Intellectual property is politics.

if a bank is using Linux, they're also probably shelling out for paid support
kinda wish it wasn't almost certainly going to be money heading towards Red Hat, but that is money heading towards Linux development

well, yes
if you don't distribute software, you can do whatever the living fuck you want

the GPL is strictly regarding distribution

The GPL is retarded in that it takes away freedom by forcing one to distribute code under the same license. Permissive licenses (MIT, BSD, etc.) are better as they let you do whatever the fuck you want as long as credit is given to the original creator even make it nonfree (what freetards call "harming"). A true free license let's one do literally whatever they want with it with very few (For example, giving credit to the original creator), if any, restrictions.

In any case, politics is dumb in software and leads to downfall.

Copyleft is why GNU/Linux has left BSD in the dust.
Fuck off with your pathetic legal troubles excuses.
GNU/Linux has had to deal with 100 times the legal troubles and patent trolling.

"Software which OpenBSD uses and redistributes must be free to all (be they people or companies), for any purpose they wish to use it, including modification, use, peeing on, or even integration into baby mulching machines or atomic bombs to be dropped on Australia." -- Theo de Raadt

You're only obliged to release your program's source if you are distributing it

>think of the poor companies!
lmao
