> This does sound like you are, again, saying there are circumstances where contributing "back" is legally required NOPE. The context is the original posters words. We are talking about that and I am saying that contributing back doesn't happen magically because of the GPL. I suggest you learn to keep the context of the argument in mind rather than keep focusing on being pedantic. I am done with this conversation now. |

Since those words never mentioned contributing back, I was, understandably confused.

I don't see where anyone was saying otherwise, ergo you're arguing against a strawman.

That only works for making a (counter-)argument, not attempting to understand the argument(s) in the first place.
In the instant case, I'm now convinced that any disagreement was based on a flawed premise, or there was no disagreement at all. My understanding of hwo the GPL functions (and is intended to function) remains unchanged.
