Angry Sun (npub1qh0…xeda) But of course he already composed an in-depth response just in case you ever asked:
I’ve come across people who think that “those dirty licenses” refers to free software licenses and expresses disgust for having licenses at all. Nothing could be further from the truth. The “dirty licenses” that I hoped we would get rid of are the nonfree licenses on the nonfree programs which, in 1991, we could not avoid using. We could not avoid them since we did not have a complete free operating system yet. Now we have one, and some of us do refuse to run any nonfree software in or on our operating systems. We have kicked out those dirty licenses. The GNU GPL is a clean and bright-shining license that defends our freedom. Until there cease to be people who try to foist nonfree software on users, we will continue to need copyleft to resist them.
