Wait. What did I miss? Why mango? He’s orange.

You guys are wild when it comes to distances. I was recently in LA and everyone insisted a 20 minutes car commute classified as “close”. On another occasion, a lady literally told me “You said it was far away. It’s only 50 miles”.

Are other countries not allowed to do something good if Japan did it first?

That makes sense. I probably should have gotten it from context.

It is mutually exclusive. You cannot “protect freedom” and impose restrictions on freedom. Also, no, you just explained how the licences worked and didn’t provide a single argument as to why having the freedom to licence your work however you want is a bad thing. The GPL doesn’t ensure that the software stays free, it ensures that it keeps control of the software and all future additions to it even if they’re completely unrelated.

Also, copyleft is just newspeak for copyright.

You’re not unless you keep the licence.

You’re again assuming that the GPL only restricts non-free licences. This is not the case. If I add a feature to a piece of GPL software, I can’t use BSD on my new code even though the new code isn’t derivative work. Hell, if I write a completely independent piece of software that links to GPL software, my new software has to be GPL even though not a single line of GPL code was used. All of this also applies to free licences like BSD. The GPL doesn’t protect freedom, it protects itself.

Wat. All https does is encrypt the connection when downloading. If you’ve already downloaded the file to audit it, then it’s in your drive, no need to use curl to download it again and then pipe it to sh. Just click the thing.

Plot twist, it just doesn’t know how to code and is deflecting.

The GPL doesn’t restrict selling. Go read the damn thing before arguing about it.

That’s also false. The GPL doesn’t only restrict non-free licences, it restricts any licence change on the derivative work. If I fork a GPL project and want to redistribute my changes with a free licence such as MIT, the GPL will prevent it to protect itself. It’s an authoritarian licence that doesn’t respect your freedom.

That’s false. Derivative software that doesn’t use the BSD licence has no bearing on the BSD-licenced software itself. For example, Sony using FreeBSD for the PS3 operating system has zero impact on the freedom of a FreeBSD user. The GPL, on the other hand, directly infringes on the user’s freedom to fork and redistribute the software.

It is one less freedom.

The GitHub owned by Microsoft? That GitHub?

If you’ve downloaded and audited the script, there’s no reason to pipe it from curl to sh, just run it. No https necessary.

Do you mean New Mexican Spanish?

So that’s why they changed the shape. I saw no valid reason so I just assumed they were trying to evade taxes in some way. I’ll admit I have no idea how much anything I buy at a convenience store costs.

BSD is freer than GPL. Fight me.

I don’t think anyone playing a game in which the main mechanic is tracking your location is the type of person to look anything up.

You mean his sister?
