My view on this all is something like this:
So I can withhold giving away my copy until I get paid. Basically I don’t even release anything until I get what I want from the deal. And I can do that for every change I make. But as soon as I make what I wan and release it, everything is libre from the beginning.
I can use screenshots or videos to prove that I have a working piece of software. And tease what are the changes I made.
The question now is, can there be a platform to streamline this process?
i think the bigger question is why we rely on honor systems when history proves that corporations don’t have any.
I think copyleft was just something too clever not to try for Richard Stallman. But yeah, corporation are doing anything they can to get around it.
i didn’t know that he was behind it; the licensing details are confusing to me as all legalese is.
Richard Stallman very likes recursions. This is why GNU ( something he named ) is a recursive acronym. And GPL ( something he came up with ) is a recursive license.
i don’t know much about stallman; but little i do know makes me inclined to agree with this. lol
