Comment GPL != Good of the Community (Score 1) 295
If I am FORCED to republish code changes, that is a lack of freedom and therefore inconsistent with the GPL.
The APSL page includes two buttons, one labelled "Yes, I accept" and the other "No, I reject".
The license does not include a clause in which Apple expresses its intentions to break down your door, and force you to accept the license. Nor I am aware of any rumors to that effect. And its hardly a Hobson's choice...there are plenty of alternatives.
Contracts are a fundamental part of a modern economy. We literally couldn't function as a society without them. Honoring contracts that you have entered into of your own free will is not force.
