Isn't that just the MIT license? Looks pretty free to me.

MIT is GPL compatible.

This CSS is nonfree because of its obfuscation. It's no different than saying a binary is free because you can edit the machine code. Stallman must be notified at once.

css is software
you an fizzbuzz in css
it's a turing complete language
>>
>>55476841
The prerequisites for software freedom are:
a. a free license; and
b. source availability.
This CSS isn't software, but a is satisfied in the file and b is satisfied by https://gnu.org/layout.css

Software is the only thing GNU cares whether it's nonfree, yes. In fact they only even care about client-side software, so servers can be as non-free as they want and GNU don't care.

>servers can be as non-free as they want
According to the GNU guys, they should be free for the server owners, but that being the case doesn't help the people who connect to the servers to do their computing on them. So yes, they do care but won't boycott a service which requires connecting to a machine running any amount of nonfree software.

If you know the numeric type you're using (so that the maximum number of iterations is statically bounded), you can write FizzBuzz for a Turing-incomplete system. A better question is whether you could implement 3-SAT in CSS, and I don't know the language well enough to know.

Can you read OP?

Yes, it is. FSF is a fucking software foundation massive retard.

Do you think the food also has to be free you literal nutjob? Do you fail to see no one is taking your logically flawed implications seriously?

Is memetexting the only line of defence you can think of whenever you feel cornered?
I'm not surprised, considering how many times you got buttravaged ITT.
>>
>>55481289
How about "I only care if it's my software that's free" instead of "only software can be free?" Because obviously more than software can give freedom.
