It requires any modifications to be under GPL.

And it also requires anything that incorporate GPL codes also be under GPL.

And the code must be published to the copyright holder as far as I know.

How it harms the end user are described.

(A)GPL restrict the modification of the software. I’m sharing an example how that restriction works.

Thank you.

Congratulations for not being in any team!

I’ve written more clearly that you must be a writer to join team 1 or 2. Keep going on your project, and ignore those who are fanatical and like to meddle in other people’s affairs, like the guys who want a project to refuse donations and contributions from some specific or all company.

Thanks.

Open source software has its source code published. It doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re able to copy some or all of it, modify it, distribute it, etc.

GPL as an example.

Free software can be freely copied, modified, distributed, etc

If you are citing the GNU’s website, you should remove the “modified”. I’d quote a mailing list user:

Say if OpenSSH was licenced under (A)GPL, companies would likely not use it because they wouldn’t be able to incorporate it into their IP, they would then try to code a shoddy implementation, and have numerous security bugs which would affect the end user. In other words, you are just shooting yourself in the foot.

pushing for a move from “Free” to “Open Source.”

Can you explain more? Is that related to the clown gpl guys criticizing BSD/MIT/ISC license and laugh on FreeBSD for letting Apple to do whatever I can’t remember?

I was curious what the Linux people think about Microsoft

Basically two teams (applied to anyone that are “speaking”, e.g writing propaganda blogs, comments, etc; they don’t necessary need to have all of this properties, and they may have both teams’ properties):

Pro microsoft, pro systemd, pro bsod, pro administrator, pro “security” (privsec.dev pro microsoft edge), pro ms office, pro wine, anti apple/mac, anti (a)gpl, pro .net, pro powershell, …

anti microsoft, anti windows culture, anti systemd, anti msedge, anti powershell & cmd, anti conio.h, anti bsd/mit/isc, anti company sponsorship …

Team 3: BSD: receive donation from every entities and work on their clean operating system and software they give everyone for free without restriction; FreeBSD has been looked down by the anti-company anti-apple anti-permissive-licenses clowns

Expressed by Theo de Raadt (OpenBSD): “Linux people do what they do because they hate Microsoft. We do what we do because we love Unix.”

Join team 3!

And, you cannot make the world better by just destroy A company, Microsoft. You must destroy all of them, or don’t destroy any, because it can only make the existing company to compete more fierce, and because OpenBSD needs donation from Google, Microsoft, and Meta to keep working on OpenSSH and other great software those companies need! They don’t need clowns to look up nor look down them, like when those clown looks down FreeBSD because they received something from Apple that I cannot figure out what.

10 years later: De-Proton your life.

It’s a normal thing and there’s no need for you to brag. You are expected to delete every account you do not use.

A garbage to run ads again. Everyone already knows the myths and they don’t need the same post to pop up every year.

Every year I upgrade to something better and found the past distros very disgusting.

6/2021: Ubuntu, Debian, Mint (for ~15 minutes), Kali Linux

2022: Ubuntu, Lubuntu, RHEL, Fedora (for some days), Arch

2023: Artix (for some days), Gentoo, Alpine (Alpine is the best distro I’ve ever seen), switched to OpenBSD in the end of the year!

2024: OpenBSD. Have a machine running FreeBSD but currently unplugged and haven’t learned anything from FreeBSD.

OpenBSD is so simple and I started reading man pages when I use it. I’m starting to learn tmux. Started to learn sed. Started writing some shell scripts. I can confirm I wasted time using all the distros above except Alpine. Except when I compile the linux kernel on Gentoo. I switched to OpenBSD without any problem. I quickly forgot the /dev/sda1 and learned disklabel. Not using vim without any problem, and I learned how to use vi efficiently.

OpenBSD is not too hard for any “newbies” that can read English. They can type “help” and it will open help(1). When they have read help(1) they will read afterboot(8). afterboot(8) is just comprehensive. It’s a pity that package management is about the end of this man page, but package management is just simple: pkg_add and pkg_delete package-name. They may read pkg_add(1) and pkg_delete(1) when they want to upgrade.

Default X11 window manager is fvwm. xterm is launched when X is started. You can move windows with mouse. Minimized windows also appear on the grey screen. But you have to double click much. This is usable. cwm is also available when you want a wm that can be used with a keyboard. It is much more efficient.

2025: plan 9 ???

I really hope microsoft abandons windows in favour of its cloud apps for people who need it and lets Linux distros rule the desktop world

This only born more commercial distros and make macos and chromeos span even more.

Open source benefits when there are so many companies competing.

I dont know what you mean by privacy projects spreading dirty JS

They are using js in their websites

Don’t even read your reply, all I want to say is you are acting like what CIA, through whatever self-claimed civil society organizations or NGOs is doing to Viet Nam and China now.

Laugh on your “basic decency and criticism”.

then such projects/forks should be abolished to the valley of death

It seems these guys failed to abolish OpenBSD to death so they find an easier target: GrapheneOS. In fact, both project accept “inputs, basic decency and criticism”. OpenBSD have a friendly connection with FreeBSD. But the os is make for their developers, and they can ignore whatever wideopenbsd or isopenbsdsecure without having problem, they can have the user to read man pages without having problems. On the linux world drama is caused by having user to read faq themselves, and Micay failed to ignore the dramas.

Same for any such individuals like Micay who believe in witch hunting, cultism and silencing people.

Micay is just dumb when he stepped down for your pleasure.

I’m upset that GrapheneOS does not follow OpenBSD: ignore people likes you and work on any feature they want. On the 90s, the NetBSD core team expelled Theo de Raadt and revoked his access on the code which others could. On 2020s, you, not any core of GrapheneOS, trying to expell Micay from GrapheneOS’s project leader role. Like what cia is doing to Viet Nam and China.

You can’t blend in with a crowd of vanadium users with the amount of data points given away by the browser. Your fingerprint will be decernable from other users. Without actual anti-fingerprinting, which theoretical can allow for a crowd only when fingerprinting of user browsers results in the same fingerprint ID, the best you can hope to do is thwart naive fingerprinting. Vanadium doesn’t have any anti-fingerprint built in, so the slightest differences between user can be used to easily fingerprint. Vanadium

Anti-fingerprinting? By blocking javascript which the half-hearted privacy users can never afford? hahahahaha. Even privacy projects spread dirty javascripts.

(OP can ignore this comment)

I’m a bit upset that GrapheneOS does not follow OpenBSD: ignore any person hating it, ignore anyone who wants to interferes with project personnel and donations like usa is doing on Viet Nam like they are speaking for the Vietnamese, and don’t care if the feature works “for you” or not, just going on code improvements & maximally free code. And do whatever Micay want to do. Accept donations from whatever company. There’s so much dramas. But they already achieved over-detailed documentations. Focusing on unprivileged google play is the true path, since the demand on google play is much larger and other “private” apps repos are expected to work on the “privacy” people’s phone.

Maybe because GrapheneOS haven’t made any world-significant project that every companies depend on so that companies have to put so much money on the project.

This is the first time I saw you saying something correct.

I thought writing unnecessary thing would always “damage” any drive :)? Especially wiping.
