GNU General public loicense 3.0 fix this issue. You can take an open source project and use it commercially, but every improvement you make to it has to be open source as well.

Proprietary companies like crapple loves the MIT loicense, which allows them to use an open source project as is, commercially, and then change it without being forced to release those changes.

Basically a stolen open source foundation with proprietary code in it. Another example is pajeetsoft who now includes a Linux subsystem in pajeetsoft Windows.

Commercial use isn't an issue in itself, as long as any change also must be open source.

I always found it hilarious to work in the software industry.

"I did all this amazing work."

"Cool, can we see it?"

"ABSOLUTELY NOT!"

"OK! You're hired!"

There's a reason this branch in particular is so full of issues. And sadly, almost every consoomer product nowadays are slowly switching over to the "proprietary software" model. Cars for instance used to be machinery only, that just works.

Now it's like software, released unfinished, full of bugs, cost 10x more than what a car of similar hardware should cost and it's all connected to the cloud. If you can't reach the cloud or of the manufacturers servers shut down, maybe the manufacturer goes bankrupt, the cars won't even run. Like Fisker for instance, their cars won't run because they can't connect to the cloud, no refunds.

And with all this fuckery going on, CEOs think it's a good idea to hire retarded pajeets. It shows that even brands have (((planned obsolesce))) now with one jew owning hundreds of different brands they can advertise, sell a shitload of shit and then let the brand die off and nobody blames the jew behind it, only the brand itself that's just an entity.

GPL2 was already that.

GPL3 was to force SaaS providers to open source server side software. It was too onerous and that's why Linus rejected it for the Linux Kernel.

Apple is the golden child for making open source the basis of your empire. MacOS is based on the FreeBSD kernel.

But let's not forget Android, it is a Linux kernel with proprietry stuff on top.

True, both gulag android and crapple ios are the true abusers of current laws. FreeBSD is loicensed as MIT if I remember correctly, hence a favorite among scumbag companies looking to build proprietary on top of open source foundation.

Playstation does this for instance, and this is were it gets more infuriating as games compiled for PS could easily be ported to Linux natively, yet all we get is steam and proton as many games force people to run pajeetsoft Windows.

Proprietary software makers are actively helping each others out, just like kikes to make sure a lot of software won't be available on open source platforms.

BSD stands for "Berkeley Software Distribution", the original BSD UNIX license was first written in 1969.

The MIT license crystallized with X11 release in 1987 but the modern text was approved by the OSI in 1999.
