10+ GPL Myths Debunked

Câteva mituri:

  • It’s okay to redistribute free GPL code. But paid GPL code? That’s not allowed
  • you need to ask permission if you’re going to redistribute paid GPL code
  • You’re not buying the code. You’re buying support and updates

O idee foarte buna (exista multe mituri despre GPL), dar intr-un format oarecum nefericit - studiile arata ca daca repeti o informatie gresita - chiar daca imediat demonstrezi ca-i gresit - multa lume o sa perceapa “mai adevarat” ideea gresita.

Mai bine ar fi sa inceapa cu afirmatii adevarate, de genul:

  • You can use GPL for your paid software
  • When you’re buying a GPL software you have the right to ask for the complete source code (and redistribute it)
