  • As not a lawyer, I’m actually not sure that cancelling the subscription is allowed by the gpl, given that it established that there can be no additional (outside of the license) conditions to share the code. I’d like to see it discussed in court, but I’m not sure interested parties have enough lawyer money for it.

    I don’t think it’s necessarily a good move but you’re wrong hon several places, like:

    they are BOUND BY THE GPL to freely share and distribute that code.

    No they aren’t. The GPL doesn’t mention anything about price, and they’re only forced to share source code with the people they distribute software to.

    They got it for free, they have to pass it on for free

    They have paid for plenty of oss code
