    Honestly there is a discussion to have here, especially about how much of substance “good ol’ Stallman” really has to say in the realm of ethics based upon his behavior but my comments where about DT and the above video.

    If you wanna talk about that, watch the video.

      Yeah that was just a side note. But ignoring ethics, he got the practicality right: if someone’s evil enough to torture people, then a software license is probably not going to prevent them from doing it.

      Also, the vast majority of proprietary software licenses include causes against redistributing and using the software to commit crimes. Did it help? I don’t think so

        Yah I mean thats fair. I just think again DT makes such a shitty point out of this in the linked video. I mean look at the damn comments and all the toxic waste of human beings it brings out of the wood work who are like “yah DT, this is why I love you!”.

        Its not a cute look.
