Why are you wasting your time INAL?
Anyone here even passed a bar exam?
Who even fucking cares, Keith Bostic, William Jolitz, Lynne Jolitz, and I forgot the Japanese developer are better heroes.

Who's making void copyright license with me?

How do you know whether pieces of some binary came from (or just happened to have the same sequence of bytes!) as in a GPL binary?
For copyright you're supposed to prove the presence of copying, not the absence of not copying.

What would actually happen is corporations would use GPL code behind extremely powerful obfuscating compilers, and everyone would neither be able to compile source code nor RE. You'd actually just be incentivizing corporations to make better obfuscating compilers. Maybe Intel would get paid enough by Apple/MS to restrict hardware interrupts on consumer chips.

Similarly to Angela Davis, Richard Stallman was recruited by KGB, back in 80ies, to curate the soviet subversion inside software engineering. The goal was introducing this GPL to undermine the US software industry. Fortunately USSR/Russia had enough economic problems, so Stallman's operation was left largely without funding. But now, with Putin in power, Russians have reanimated their dusty agent network, including mr Epstein and mr Stallman, who promptly got fired. End of story. Edited on 19/09/2019 14:51.

Unfortunately, RMS made an early decision to frame his advocacy as a moral crusade rather than a pragmatic argument about engineering practices and outcomes. While he made consequentialist arguments against closed source (and still does) his rhetoric and his thinking became dominated by terms like “evil”, to the point where he repeatedly alienated potential allies both with his absolutism and his demand that anyone cooperating with him share it.

I think this is precisely the sort of displacement Santayana had in mind – means overwhelming ends, rhetoric taking over and trapping the fanatic in a position where the harm he was originally reacting against is forgotten. Instead the language of revelation, virtue, sin, purity, corruption, and redemption dominates. RMS parodies this aspect of his own propaganda when he presents himself as “St. Ignucious”, but the parody does not banish the fact that he is in fact living the role of ascetic holy man bent on purging sin from the world.

Also, so much work purging the Stallman name from everywhere, and redacting him from every photo.

I doubt they'll have the means to erase RMS/minsky/sussman from public record. What are they going to do with people storing "older files"? Claim that RMS was photoshopped in?

They will at least have to delete these files from their own sites. RMS/minsky/sussman is the real life Freddy Krueger, which must be burned, but will still haunt the nightmares for the time to come.

Richard Stallman’s Exit Heralds a New Era in Tech

"Inclusive and diverse" being the euphemism for "even completely computer-illiterate fucktards can now get their code into mission-critical projects".

It is indeed a new era, one of even worse software than we've ever seen before.

I can only hope that more people will notice over time, and purge the incompetence and destructive SJWs to Make Software Great Again.

I can only hope a reversal of today's SJW retardation back into a fierce meritocracy on all accounts.

Today it seems having a pussy, black skin, religion of ``peace'' or being generally a fucktard with red hair and emo glasses counts for more than doing the actual fucking work. This leads to censorship, the dictatorship of offended retards and the shitty, mediocre but oh so inclusive and safe spaces and full of empathy bullshit world we have.

I wish for a terrible, implacable fall of political so-called correctness and everything that came after it.

they are, they go out of business and get replaced by new companies who don't succumb to it as much

the reason you haven't seen software companies go out of business because of SJW cancer is we haven't seen a recession yet. the rise of SJWs came several years after 2008. during the dotcom bust many talented programmers lost their jobs let alone divershitty hires and CoC experts.

No, its because pajeets fix it most of time. They are also cheaper than soy-drinking male feminists.

With the current "everyone must learn programming" trend that is going to happen very soon. Programming is a math heavy subject, and the majority of population doesn't express any aptitude towards even easier school math, not speaking of professional math used in say neural networks analysis.

I'm sure you've seen the idiocy that the biggest software companies in the world have done, yet people still buy their products (and willingly take the forced "upgrades" up their arse).

When it comes to software, the population is effectively a bunch of retarded sheeple who know nothing and are easily persuaded. SJW-induced or otherwise, they don't notice nor care about the decline in quality.

The entire system, or perhaps the file system which contains the directory, cannot support any additional open files at the moment. (This problem cannot happen on GNU/Hurd systems.)

Makes sense, FSF is all about wringing copyright compliance and GNU is about writing software.
The question, how will GNU receive its funding while headed by RMS?

What does the GNU project even do these days? Creeping versionism of decades-old userland commands? A dead-end kernel that no one will ever use?
