Copyleft is those user-protecting restrictions. I'll refrain from repeating myself. By your "fewer restrictions" logic, permissive licenses would be the ones most copyleft. Again, the purpose of copyleft is proliferating "freedom-respecting" software, not amassing - open source. Code that is open, but you can't utilize freely because of a locked-down device or a patent - "misses the point". Preceding references emerged organically and... whoa. Most GPLv2 bias which isn't caused by Linux' licensing is due to the kind of FUD you've perpetuated in this thread, not any actual issue with GPLv3. |

Please don't strawman me. I already explained how there's two different freedoms that copyleft licenses seek to protect, and it's perfectly valid for someone to care only about the first freedom but not the second, and for such a person the GPLv2 is superior.

Contrary to what you may believe, FUD is not defined as "any opinion you disagree with". And by calling my arguments FUD instead of actually trying to address the points I made, you're just telling me that you can't actually argue against what I said so you'd rather try and discredit me.
