Hello,

I have a quick question about free software (FOSS) and copyright.

Can you face legal persecution for pirating free software? How do FOSS licenses interact with intellectual property and copyright?

Thanks,
Rick

Faggots creating free software are living off parents money so they can not afford lawsuit. Feel free to abuse free software however you like.

Great, thanks for your detailed response. Faggots abusing this board are apparently incapable of define "abuse" in any meaningful context.

I mean, the gubbernmint is meaningful right???

ok nvm I think I got it. so copyleft means that once you acquired it you're allowed to distribute it.
