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
Adrian Reed
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.
Samuel Jenkins
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
