Stop having a tantrum because you don't agree with what license people pick for their software. Yes, it sucks for you that because these libraries are GPL you can actually see them, want to use them, but feel conflicted because you don't want to abide by their copyright.

Boo fucking hoo. Cry me a river.
If those APIs were proprietary and closed, you wouldn't even know about them. The saying ignorance is bliss was invented for people like you.

I bet you there aren't many GPL suits. Nobody wants to force someone's work to be GPL, how often has this even happened? They just want you to stop violating their copyright. Can you do that?

Hah, did microsoft pay you to write this?

That's because the institutions know their intentions don't fit with abiding by the GPL. Maybe it's their intentions that are the problem, and not somebody else who spends their time writing cool GPL software.

So? is that your goal? A lot of people could give a flying fuck about what you consider 'industry' or broad use. They like their software like their women, quality over quantity and STDs.

Stop right there. There is no such thing as Free Open Source. These are mutually exclusive terms.

Mate, you spew nonsense faster than a cow farts. If I write a piece of GPL code, in no way does it "assert control over code I haven't written." You're on the wrong side of the bullshit line and we're going to have to stuff some hot grits down your panties.

Finally! Yes the BSD license is more permissive. You managed to make a sentence without fraud, fabrication or lies. I'm proud of you.

Some developers like the whole BSD thing, which gives more freedom to the person who uses and implements the software, rather than the original developer.

Actually, with the GPL as the software user, you are free to do anything you like with it. As long as you distribute the source when required. Implying the software user is restricted is dishonest.

What on earth is wrong with you people. You're usually so rational.

1. You all complain that some places don't have choice of ISPs because of government granted monopolies
2. You refuse to look at the solution to the root cause, that is to get rid of government power to grant monopolies
3. You want instead, for the fucking people who bring you the NSA, fiat dollar, deficit spending, income tax and crimes against humanity to have more power over the internet?
4. Where has this problem even manifested? ISPs aren't stupid, usually when they block or slow traffic it's a calculated decision to please MORE customers or at the request of the government.

Don't you realize that the only power the government has is force? Don't you realize that everytime you grant them power they sell it to the highest bidder and fuck you with it? You are the 'target' and 'adversary'. YOU.

Don't you realize that there is no such thing as a 'government'? It's an abstract, fictional entity that masks the foul psychopaths that rule over you.

You got me. I'm traveling forward in time right now.

But you can't stop me.

If you had bothered to watch the video you would have noticed that the leaked documents put much of this NSA activity starting 15 YEARS ago. That's 1998. They were already collecting all your email, internet and phone data AND STORING IT years before 9/11.

Yes that means that those things you weren't proud you did in your distant past can be used against you forever.

1. Lusitania
2. Mossadegh
3. Gulf of Tonkin
4. Operation Gladio
5. Operation Northwoods
6. USS Liberty
7. 9/11
8. Anthrax attacks

Wake up Neo, you've always been a slave. Worldwide spying, exploitation, propaganda AND financial manipulation. It's been done for hundreds of years according to the capability of the time. Everything you think you know is a lie.

What we're reaching is the end game. When the rulers of this planet can finally bind everyone in such strong chains from birth that even the pretense of freedom can be dropped.

Fortunately, the empire and the dollar are walking debt infested corpses and their plans will come crashing down before they reach endgame.

We should also shoot dead any animal, wild or otherwise, that shits and doesn't pick it up. Foxes, deer, coyotes, bears, sheep, cows, babies, chickens etc.

I mean shit, if we're all for the initiation of force, I'm in guys.

Also, I'd like to lobby for the right for you to kill yourselves. ASAP.

Just reach in the drawer, take out your guns and put it in your mouths. It can't be wrong if you're doing it to yourself and lots of people would like you to do it.

Nah, that's a utilitarian difference.

The philosophical difference is quite another thing related to the licenses...
