I actually don’t know how many programs do this, but several check that file permissions are correct or refuse to work. Sudo and ash are 2 of them. I could see /etc/shadow being readable and writable by everyone being a problem too, but I don’t know.
Firefox did it like 10 years ago. I think it’s still going around under a different name in very low tier smart phones.
Find me where it says you can’t charge or that you have to distribute source code to anyone
The first amendment of the US is not the definition of free speech. People in other parts of the world also have the right to free speech, and it has nothing to do with the US constitution. I know it sounds crazy to you, but there’s countries other than the US.
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
Book piracy was huge I don’t know what you’re talking about. You could get professionally printed books or you could always just photocopy them.
I don’t know if it’s that cut and dry. If you study a Operative Systems class or buy a book about them, it’ll exclusively deal with the kernel.
