junulo Hypothesis - How BSD can make open source better and give people more freedom when everybody can close a source code and sell it as their own product?
nia How can GPL make open source better and give people more freedom when GPL projects can't share code with other open source projects under MPL, CDDL, BSD 4-clause licenses, and when GPLv2 and GPLv3 are incompatible?
MG_ It's actually unclear to me. I made a series of C-programs that make up a cash register system running on FreeBSD. I consider it my property. I have no idea what I would be obligated to if it was a linux system... Does it claim my software's source code because it uses a licnese that demands insight in the entire system? Or does this only apply to changed system code? I commented out a few kernel lines to skip particular shutdown-related actions and redistribute it like that. I also deleted the entire rc.d startup script system. Is that a problem?
