Hello, fellow magicians and wizards. This comment doesn't reply to anyone's comment in particular, just my opinion on the matter.
TL;DR: Intellectual Property should be denied right to exist, same with government's abusive power over our lives in which we are approved less and less security, privacy, anonymity, freedom and other rights everyone should have to ensure a proper quality life.. DISCLAIMERS: 1. I currently got a eye condition so I have to seriously save time by cutting corners (such as not reading all that you guys wrote), and also save time by not reading what I wrote and make sure it makes 100% sense.. my eyes hurt the more I stare at screen (no, a simple solution like "blink, idiot" doesn't fix) 2. Sometimes I think that we ought to add some politics.. sometimes it's the best way to spread both at the same time: politics/beliefs and software. How? Like this: If you're a politican or someone who explores life and one's right to freedom, etc. and agree with say this and that: you'll perhaps use this software or at least spread awareness of it just for the political/philosophical side of it. If you like the software very much, like think "damn this is well built", perhaps you'll also consider the same about the political side of it/what comes with it. 3. by political I might have meant philosophical. I thought that politics and ethnicity of things didn't really matter until I realized more and more what I want in life, what I want life to look for me and others, and that we all directly or indirectly contribute for or against this world in one way or another. For example: if you do jack shit: changes are that in a few decades or even just a few years - you will live in a dystopia. Although you might live in a dystopia, the entire world might be a dystopian place, too, there might be some people who have seen the truth, probably from before, since more and more censorship is being utilized, and our privacies ruined: truth is lesser and lesser, meaning those who live in a dystopia are likely to live in it until they die, if that makes sense. So if I live in a world that I want to live in (say my own world/life will not be the same for everyone, because of their choices), I'll have a better life as well as perhaps interest others to do same or similar. Not sure where I was going, just a political/ethical/religious summary of I guess So I want to control my life and be able to make choices, etc., basically live in a utopia. To do so, I want/have to reject most if not all government regulations, laws as well as grants (such as "Protection against misuse because to copyright"). I, henceforth also deny government's power, meaning I don't want to get it's protection, nor even admit that intellectual property (IP rights: copyright, patents, trademark) exists, as it's I believe a government construct.. or construct of some kind, that just doesn't really hold water for me... copyright was, according to Richard Stallman, in the beginning for the public's sake, their "ability"(more like approval) to print books.. it's soooo way different nowdays. In today's world many bad things are not only encouraged, but even awarded.. such as capitalism, selfishness, lack of freedom I mean government-given security, justice, equality or equity, etc. People these days do things for money, instead for the spiritual merit as well as other spiritual, social or emotional awards from doing something and/or completing it. Of course open soruce is usually free, but it utilizes government's abuse to force this and that person to be able to do just this and that, and sometimes for this and that purpose (if I understood Linus Torvald's opinion on GPLv3, it's this). I don't pretend that government doesn't have (abusive) power and doesn't control my life, I deny it, be them some sort of sentences or benefits(say IP protection, etc.). P.S. Government is evil beyond imagination, and it makes people evil trough capitalism, encouring less human rights and making them slaves and/or enraged so they go and massacre each other instead of the heads.. kill the fucking head, not servents, etc.
