    Dude the whole foss movement was founded by one dude who hated copyright. It’s even called copyleft. Lol

        Neither does AI. It’s learning from art the same way I learn from Microsoft’s office when I make Libreoffice.

      You dont seem to know what you are talking about, or are dissingenous.

      Copyright is the tool that allows to enforce GPL. The same with other free and open source licenses.

      You seem to be leaning towards “permissive” libertarian licenses like MIT and BSD. Those don’t care much about the end users (I got your code, now fuck off I can do whatever I want with the modifications, including never sharing them back and making the whole thing closed source).

      But for GPL and licenses that protect the rights of developers (including the right to ask follow-up developers to keep the code open for the benefit of users and developers), copyright laws are the tool that enforces that.

      The term “copyleft” is just a meme.

        You seem to be awfully ignorant of the history and I suggest you get back to it. Copyleft and free software is fundamentally anti copyright. Copyleft and GPL is legal play against copyright because guess what - we don’t have the power to change the entire legal framework. I’ve been foss dev for over 20 years now so might as well fuck off lol
