    The GPL, on the other hand, directly infringes on the user’s freedom to fork and redistribute the software.

    that’s plain bullshit. under GPL, you are free to fork it and redistribute it

        well of course. you can’t betray the will of upstream: to not feed the rich. not a big ask.

        but the user, as you said, has no reason to object to that, because it protects them from parasites
