I can understand why someone does not like GPL, but calling a license which says you have to pass on the same rights you were given a 'fascist' license makes absolutely zero sense.
- _ph_ 9y agoThe issue with the GPL is, that it does not only requires to pass on the source any (modified) GPL component, but also any other program part which happens to be linked together with the GPL code, but is in no way derived from it. This is pretty violent towards code not strictly related to the GPL code - whether the strong term used is appropriate, is another question.
