>>11001982>free software builds upon copyright-law and can't work without it.Wrongo, idiot.
Free licenses are revocable by the copyright owner at his will, REGARDLESS of what "rights" the license pro-ports to convey.
Secondly, with all this talk of "enforcement" of "free software licenses"; what damages do you think you will obtain against a violator when you demand zero payment and have not registered your copyright PRIOR to a same-similar violation from said party (and no: free software programmers generally do not register their copyrights).
You're not getting attorney's fees, you're not getting statutory damages, so your only getting contract damages, or profits. So it may very well be 0 dollars (unless profits were made off of your code somehow).
No: Free software does not rely on, nor does it even WORK with copyright law, in a realistic sense.
If you were an attorney you'd understand that.
It is an ATTEMPTED work-around using copyright licensing law against itself (and has always been framed as such)
What it really is, however, is a different way of thinking about software: with the stated goal of abolishing copyright on software (learn your history, retard).
