Why don't you /g/ackoffs compile your Linux distro? isn't that the whole point of "Free-as-in-freedom?"
And you wonder why the NSA never needs to work for your data.

Linux is open source ware. Linus doesn't give a shit about freedom.
>>55218000
That's why it's GPLv2 right?
>>55218000
So he shouldn't, muh freedoms retards are, well, retarded. Nigger.

Yes, that's why vanilla Linux is packed with loads of proprietary modules.

Linux, the kernel, you know
So you're too new to remember Jiuyuu

I never got the whole "proprietary programming" thing, though. Then again, i'm not a good programmer.
How do you claim copyright on code? Like I understand copyrighting the system, but what if I write a function that, minus a couple variable names, look the same as another persons function. They could be halfway across the world, but i get sued all the same. It's weird.

You don't even see the source code of proprietary programs. You basically get a program (kernel module in this case), don't know what it actually does, but must use it so Linux can talk with your hardware.
