Copyleft licences are the only true free software licences. All other open source licenses are just proprietariable.
You think that a license that imposes more restrictions on its use is more free than one that imposes fewer???
Where my
Apache-2.0gang at?This argument reminds me of the Tolerance Paradox described by Karl Popper, who stated that in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must retain the right to be intolerant of intolerance.
In the licensing context, yes, the Apache and Expat licenses may grant your users the freedom to create proprietary software out of your works, but at the cost of sacrificing all the basic freedoms of all the users that will use the derived non-free product.
So, like Popper said that you should prefer removing the “smaller” freedom for a society of being intolerant in order to guarantee the “greater” one of remaining tolerant in the future, since you still have to choose which freedoms you are going to negate, it’s preferable to use copyleft and impede the “smaller” freedom of creating proprietary software than not using it and allowing the crushing of future users’ fundamental rights.
Well, it depends on your perspective. Copyleft licenses restrict downstream developers in order to protect the rights of downstream users.

It’s not just free, it’s libre!
All that really does is guarantee that the professor will catch anyone cheating
The meme is gigachad not 9000 IQ so your objection is overruled
would be easier than to try and catch people slipping eachother code, no?
It’s really easy to detect duplicate programs. I’ve failed multiple students due to cheating on assignments. Code obfuscation is incredibly easy to detect using something like MOSS .
Of course gigachad uses a thinkpad
Code web app class homework assignment. Put a link to the AGPL on the main page. Let another student access the main page from their personal smartphone. Give them a copy of the source code. When professor accuses you of helping them cheat, you can tell the professor you legally had to.
I know this is a joke, but assuming you’re the author, then you’re under no obligation to follow the license. Only people to whom you transmitted the code are bound by its terms.
even better, use an import that has AGPL license so it’s not your fault.
most new projects are in MIT?
My grades weren’t good enough so I license most of my code Community College Licence.
Fucking LOL
That’s certainly possible, but it’s only lukewarm open-source. People can prefer spicy licenses.
Apache2 is preferred nowadays.
This is part of why universities generally have it in the admissions agreement that the university will hold copyright over all that you do for your classes
Wow that’s shitty
Was either required or encouraged in my programming classes.
We were required to have our repos be private.
'Cause I’m G PL
Yes I’m the real PL
All you other letter PLs
Aren’t actually PLsI post all my homework solutions on GitHub
I only did for my last semester mostly as a practice for using git and to have something to show recruiters/employers.
Not pictured: OP and all their classmates failing the assignment and being investigated for plagiarism
That is literally me (after the assignment period ends :") )
This guy is a joke.
Based on commit history, you can prove that you did it originally
Free as in freedom
The commit history is trivial to rewrite.
this is the way.
what u mean bro mit license is also good
