>Philosophically I see it as forced don't-murder is no longer true don't-murder.

I would suggest reading "A Clockwork Orange", as it highlights why compulsory ethics is no longer just without free will. Spoiler, even if people lobotomize a murderer to have their behavior meet an arbitrary definition of societal good it is just as unethical.

>It's forced on everyone else after that, but I see no problem with that because remind me again just what exactly is the terrible burden being forced again?

Adding what is effectively an end user copyright DRM submarine under the flag of FOSS is tantamount to sabotage.

I do not see the distinction between copyright and copyleft trolls. They both demand end users give up freedoms to meet a selfish ideal.

If someone wants to control how people use their stuff, than just stop calling it a FOSS work. Some seem very passionate about the subject, but I don't think anyone has ever been murdered over shitty code. =3

Quelle horreur!

Ok buddy whatever you say.

These arguments are so ridiculously invalid I'll trade you a Clockwork Orange for a "not even wrong" suggested google.

Talk about "passionate about the subject" indeed.
