They didnt force u to make your fully owned software free .. But if you choose to use their code to make your software, you have to follow their rules .. if your software 100% owned by you .. nobody forcing you to opensource it ... GPL to me is still some sort of Intelectual Property protection .. it protect free codes from being manipulated into closed source apps ... The programmer have done big effort to give away to free software community ... and they want others who use their code to respect that ... I'm totally against software patents .. I dont mind closed source their apps .... but making the procedure patented is totally wrong ... its like saying music genres (hip-hop / rock / jazz etc) are patented... music are procedures of playing with instruments afterall ... -- ----------------------------------------------- regards Hikaru ----------------------------------------------- Mohd Izhar Firdaus Bin Ismail Amano Hikaru 天野晃 「あまの ひかる」 Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS ICT 2nd Year 1st Semester mohd.izhar.firdaus@xxxxxxxxx ----------------------------------------------- kagesenshi.87@xxxxxxxxx GPG: http://www.rootshell.be/~kagesens/public-key.asc Blog: http://kagesenshi.blogspot.com ----------------------------------------------- -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
