Sometime on Oct 27, Dinesh Joshi assembled some asciibets to say:
of ignorance. Boss, what was GNU project started for? It was started precisely _BECAUSE_ Stallman was completely opposed to proprietary softwares. Why? Well he was not allowed to fix some source! Why the heck do you think will GPL support creation of proprietary software if the creator of the FSF was completely against the entire ideology of proprietary software.
He's not saying that the GPL should allow proprietary software or that it's bad. All he's saying is that the GPL takes away one of the developer's freedoms.
That's not entirely correct though, at it stems from the fact that proprietary software is incorrectly named. The word proprietary means "owned or belonging to someone". All software is owned by someone (the author) unless explicitly placed in the public domain.
So, if there's anything that isn't proprietary software, it's public domain software. Everything else is proprietary, including GPLed software, BSD licenced software and restrictive EULA wrapped software.
