Comment Comment by naikrovek lol it doesn't work this way. one person can't take it away from everyone else if it's, say, MIT-licensed.person A taking code private causes exactly zero harm to person B.this is why I say that viral licenses restrict freedom of users; they do not guarantee freedom to users.The GPL actively prevents users from taking certain actions -- actions which do not and can not take anything at all from any other user of that code. parent naikrovek 4 years ago
