  1. And yes, #Stallmanists and #RMS himself rambling ideological nonsense and shoehorning it into a license aka. #GPLv2 and espechally #GPLv3 killed #Copyleft and inspired Assholes to go with #SSPL aka. the "You can't make money off it, but worse!" license.

    I mean what's next?
    #AGPLv4 which demands #LicensingFees to #upstream projects in proportion to the sales price of the product [like #ARM wants nowadays] or #GPLv4 which demands #ForcedLabour on #GnuHurd for violations?

  4. @kennysmith I know, since #DW / @dw_innovation - unlike @tagesschau / #ARD, @ZDF & Co. - don't get conditionless revenue aka. #LicensingFees but are paid for entirely by Germany's federal budget, thus depend on political will and desire to keep their lights on as foreign broadcaster...
