@p it's really infuriating how brainwashed so many people are.
@bonifartius It doesn't really upset me, you know, like there are people that think that if they demonstrate a willingness to fit into the system that the system will cut some slack to accommodate them, and it doesn't; that's the defining feature of a system. It's not any more frustrating than a person doing a ritual to pick lottery numbers.
It is a little baffling that you have this organization that created the GPL because they understand that a corporation won't yield so they have to make it impossible for the corporation to appropriate code, but the same organization thinks that they can get a government to play ball.

RMS makes the fundamental mistake that most collectivist idealists do. That others will act in good faith. I am not a communist because I know no human enterprise acts in good faith once actual humans are in any kind of position of power.

@Leyonhjelm This is literally the exact same fundamental flaw of capitalism and free market adherents. The ideologies are virtually the same regardless of the hypothetical antidotes being seemingly opposite. @p @bonifartius

the difference is that people can only act in good faith if they can choose to do so.
which they, by definition, can't do in collectivist systems. those are always one execution away from utopia.
