All proprietary code only exists to cover up true piracy and incompetence. Subscriptions for this garbage in general is a blank check scam like highway robbery. Paying any subscription for software or media is funding piracy and criminal extortion.
What the hell are you talking about. Also was an “open source” program by the way.
This not subscription software and as much as I hate every company trying to make their shit a service to sub to this is a ridiculous statement to make.
There was GPL code used in the project. That was misappropriated; stollen.
It is an abstraction of where proprietary garbage has lead the world.
It is holding this up as an example of what else is out there. You know, application of information in a broader scope. I'm sorry if that is a challenge.
Then just say there was GPL code in the project instead of that barely connected tangent. Or start with that before your tangent.
Not everyone has been following this shit as deeply as you may have.
