If it was intended as an insult you needa try harder.

Opensource was a paradigm before it was a coined phrase.
That paradigm led to the quick implimentation of networking protocols and the various file systems some of which are still in use today.
NFS for example is still used in many consumer file servers. Original opensource.
Tcp/ip stack.
Many Web protocols etc.

Shared knowledge accelerated development.
Closed and proprietary softwares and protocols stagnated it. But it sure made those companies a shit ton of cash.

It is very difficult to explain to someone who does not care to do their own research. It is nuanced. Using opensource to make money is possible. You just cant claim the bits you used as your own. Your addon is open to whatever lisence you release it under.

You are correct though, there are waaaay too many versions of various gpl/copyleft. It is bullshit.

Thanks for the compliment guys. Love you.
i know about copy left and GPL and the one that's a "virus" if you use a bit of the code everything else it touches gains that license also, i don't need to do research on it, or the concept and most importantly whether a cunt or a boomer came up with the term in 1998 or 1970

all the stack stuff is for literal autists and doesn't concern me, i just trust the furries to keep it running

also, also i'm the wrong mother fucker to be talking about licenses with, i pirate fucking everything i can

at this very moment i'm downloading all the pirated shit off internet archive i want before that entire website gets nuked with a archiver

The left went from "freedom of information, no borders, the workers own the means of production"

To "MY DADDY IS A LAWYER" really fucking fast after AI came out.
