    Most FOSS advocates understand there is a line where your rights end and mine begin–it’s why we have the GPL instead of all using MIT or LGPL license. Your right to acess the source is sacred.

    Gun advocates don’t give a shit. Your death means nothing to their desire to roleplay mad max or zombie apocalypse or cowboy or whatever.

      I’ve never seen a FOSS advocate argue that all software should legally be required to be FOSS. Would that include server-side code? Instead they oppose IP protection, so that anyone could simply crack your software and freely distribute it.

      “Most FOSS gun advocates understand there is a line where your rights end and mine begin”

      Because, you know, owning a gun doesn’t infringe on anyone’s rights.
