Copyleft is currently a very clever hack of copyright, and thus is dependent on the continued existence of (and perpetual expansion of ) copyright terms.
If copyright had its own section of law, then copyright could be modified without adversely affecting copyleft.
But as you point out, the corporations like this state of affairs, because it gives them a convenient club to beat people that would otherwise support revisions to copyright with.
I don't think so, anymore than public domain is a double standard, because they are two separate, but related things.
There should obviously be restriction on copyleft to prevent abuse, but the big thing is that a work put under copyleft should be forever in copyleft (like public domain), but that derivative works are *ALSO* forced into copyleft, with no prohibitions on commercial use. This is different than public domain, where derivative works are not forced to also be public domain.
In my opinion, copyleft better serves the copyright clause in the US Constitution "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts", better than copyright does.
The actual mechanics of making such a law are better suited to people with extensive experience with both copyleft and law.
That said, I don't begrudge those who need assistance. Why should I?
I just dislike those who are able deliberately being lazy. I also dislike people assuming an insult where none was intended. If I was trying to insult you, you couldn't ignore it and I would bet that you would instablock me.
Even if you mean drafting people, it won't work. The people they would catch are too frail to be useful as anything but cannon fodder, and almost everyone who isn't too frail is more likely to join the rebels. Give people who want their commanders dead grenades and automatic weapons? :doge_laugh:
@AWIVR@madonline@coolboymew My guess would be either someone reposted you and it got into this weakling's feed or one of your posts federated and they were browing the known network.
@sickburnbro@c The purpose of punishment is to either entirely remove undesirable elements, render them incapable of causing problems or as a warning to others to avoid doing undesirable things.
