Is it time for GPL, version 4?

GPL v. 3 added language to deal with TiVoization and DRM. Now we need language to stop what Red Hat is doing.

Frankly, as I read the license, anyone who has a copy of the source code of a project released under the GPL can share it with others. The license never says that you have to obtain the source or object code from the developer in order to share it and modify it.

History is on the side of #RMS , whereas the #LinuxFoundation is on the wrong side of history, given what #IBM already did with Nazi Germany and what IBM still does at present • Techrights ⚓ http://techrights.org/2021/03/28/ibm-and-rms-incompatible/#Techrights | ♾ Gemini address: gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2021/03/28/ibm-and-rms-incompatible/
