LMFAO, Uh huh, look at the cost of those licenses. Google has their cash cow in Ads and Intel makes it's money off it's hardware and proprietary licenses.
No the fact that you bitch about group A cutting off avenues of uses but group B does does the same thing just through different means.
Quite the opposite. I want my code to benefit EVERYONE. What they do with it I leave up to them to decide. If they want to make changes and keep it to themselves, that's fine with me, if they want to release their changes, that's fine with me. My contribution remains for everybody to use, what they do with their contribution is for them to decide.
I've written software over the years using the various licenses proprietary, opensource, and truly free PD. They all have their uses and places. I'm not one to dictate what what license it is unless the project is 100% completely my own and in that case I will put it out as PD if I decide to release it to the wild where everybody who wants can use it however they wish with zero forced obligation. If I'm writing for a employer or hired to do custom code I'll put it under whatever license they want given that it does not infringe on existing licenses restrictions.
I never said you were a fascist, I pointed out though how the idealism of fascism has more in line with open source organizations then a entity such as nVidia where it practices capitalism more then anything else.
Now you have failed to explain me why the open source organizations are fascistic. Because we disagree with the closed source models? Because GPL does not permit them to put their non-free code in the kernel? Hmmm so the democracy is fascistic because it doesn't allow the fascists to practice their fascistic beliefs...
Also, yes you did say that I am a fascist. Since I belong to the opensource crowd which has in line with fascism then I can not see how I'm not inclined to fascism as well...
