Just use open source software with open protocols.
We should have a GPL update that disallows using the software within closed sourced eco systems."this software is only allowed to be run on open source operating systems" for example.
That just sounds like you don't want the majority of people to use it. You still only have 4% of desktop users on Linux.
Everyone can use it, use it all they want however they want
Having said that: Large corporations shouldn't be able to profit endlessly off of my work for free, fuck that shit
