Reminder that Torvalds has openly stated that he doesn't care about freedom and would have licensed his kernel as something other than GPL if he could go back in time.
>>
>>52105133
What else is new? He only cares about himself.
>>
>>52105133
Stallman was right.

Imagine if you could undo GPL

I think he's that homosexual youtubing faggot shill who shits up /g/ on regular basis.

MIT is way more free though.

>but no, i didn't
then he takes the last look at steve jobs' picture which hangs on his wall as a bullseye and cries himself to sleep
>>
>>52105133
If he had I'd respect him much more.
>>
>>52105232
Linux got popular because it was free and didn't have licensing issues likes Minix and BSD did at the time. If not for AT&T suing BSD vendors Linux probably wouldn't even exist today.

>Linux got popular
paused the history channel broadcast there

>>52105054
If you're serious this is the guy who created the Linux kernel.
>>
>>52105133
False. He has repeatedly said that GPL2 is his preferred license.
>>
>>52104991
will he ever finish building his temple?

MIT/BSD vs GPL is a matter of Freedom for developers vs Freedom for the people who will actually use your software. In that case, GPL may be "less" free, but it means more people get to experience freedom, which is a much greater good.
>>
>>52105332
How does MIT/BSD remove freedom from the users? That argument makes zero sense. There are zero restrictions on what the end user can do with the software. The GPL is far more restrictive in both regards.
>>
>>52105133
He also said something to the effect of
>Licensing Linux under GPL was the best choice I ever made in my life.
>>
>>52105133
Source or it didn't happen
>>
>>52104991
Who is Linus Torvalds what gadget did he invent and where can I buy it?
>>
>>52107218
He's the founder of 9gag
>>
>>52105376
The GPL ensures that derived works remain free (for the user) software due to copyleft. Hence a contribution to GPL software is a contribution that advances free software, whereas a contribution to MIT (or other permissive license) software also advances (and hence encourages) proprietary software

>>52104991
What a fag.

Why is Maki so pure?

Happy Birthday God.

"This, btw, is not something I would suggest you do in your living room.
Getting a penguin to pee on demand is _messy_. We're talking yellow spots
on the walls, on the ceiling, yea verily even behind the fridge. However.
I would also advice against doing this outside - it may be a lot easier to
clean up, but you're likely to get reported and arrested for public
lewdness Never mind that you had a perfectly good explanation for it all."

Yes because GPL is the only reason why his shitty kernel is still in use.

Ironic since Free Software is the only reason he's not some ditch-digging code monkey in a cramped office and he still openly shits on it.

B-but Christmas was like, three days ago anon.

>I was born on the same day as Linus
Does this mean I was doomed to neckbeardom from the start?
