I wonder if it's possible to build and self-host a UNIX system without using any GPL-licensed software, including libraries.

@miria ok corporate bootlicker

@KayFaraday Uh... what?

@miria permissive licensing promotes commercial exploitation

@KayFaraday Uh... what?

@miria what what

@KayFaraday Exactly. You're speaking nonsense so I'm confused.

@miria I'm not, companies exploiting open source code is a well documented phenomenon and idk why you want to avoid copyleft because it helps prevent that

@KayFaraday
>anarchist in bio
>expresses views incompatible with anarchism
Every single time

@miria I'm a copyright anarchist so I use copyleft. They're not incompatible as copyright anarchy is closer to copyleft than permissive licensing

@KayFaraday >copyright anarchist
So... not anarchist? Cool.

@miria I'm generally anarchist and that includes copyright

@KayFaraday Copyright is incompatible with anarchy though.

@miria yes that's why I want to abolish it and why I use and promote copyleft in the meantime

@KayFaraday If you abolish copyright you can't have copyleft though. You sound like one of those Marxists who are like "Yeah yeah we'll have a super strong state controlling every aspect of people's lives, but eventually it'll 'wither away' though!"

@miria @KayFaraday The only correct anarchist position here is: I want what's best for me. Fuck companies leeching on code. They shouldn't just be restricted in what they're allowed to do with the code, they should have their owners dragged into the street and gutted for being leeches in the first place. Microsoft never gained me anything
