So I was clicking around on random issues in the ffmpeg bug tracker, and I come across this little gem<\/a>.<\/p>\n

argon, if you want I can simply forward this to our lawyers and they’ll suck the
\nlife out of you (and all your money with it). Keep your cool, please.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You know what, GPL faggots? Fuck you forever. You’re just as bad as the sue-happy proprietary software owners\/patent owners you claim to hate so much. The entire point of open source is that anyone should be able to do whatever they want with it. You’re trying to keep the cake and eat it too; either you let the code go and let other people use it freely, or you keep it under locks and sue the fuck out of anyone using it in ways you don’t like. There is no middle ground, and it’s pretty clear which side of the fence you’re on.<\/p>\n

The GPL isn’t a “free software” license in any way whatsoever because of its ridiculous restrictions. People who use it are the kind of faggots that are still attached to the “I made it so I should be able to control what happens to it until 90 years after my death” school of intellectual property management, which is about as far from any definition of “free” as you can get. Stop pretending you’re different from the HURR YOU ARE MISUSING OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, SUE SUE SUE companies like Adobe and Microsoft.<\/p>\n

tl;dr:<\/strong> fuck copyright forever<\/p>\n
