I agree with the geneal idea that one could do even more than what the GPL does, but i think it does a lot already.

On the case of Android, i think Google doesn't care too much about the kernel code itself, wouldn't mind contributing back to it if they had to, as the entire ecosystem of software around the kernel is what they use to capture users and keep control of their devices... GGL doesnt need the kernel for that, and the linux kernel is a smol drop of code in the ocean of a prison that is android...

See how Google is adverse to the use of the AGPL in their own products https://drewdevault.com/2020/07/27/Anti-AGPL-propaganda.html this would in practice force them to reveal to their users how they process their data, and would probably scare them to death...

So I am not a proponent of copyright, but it seems that GPL and AGPL are pretty effective tools at discouraging corporations in some cases (not perfect though)

then why not wording as "what is the worst wrong doing you've done?" am asking from the standpoint of language (and the one of instance policy), as "sin you've done" sounds to me, at face value, like bigotry (ie. integrating the view of one religion as something universal and/or real)

As a non-native English-speaker, what i find is:

Sin

noun

1 transgression of divine law: the sin of Adam.

2 any act regarded as such a transgression, especially a willful or deliberate violation of some religious or moral principle."

(from https://www.dictionary.com/browse/sin?r=75&amp;src=ref&amp;ch=dic )

both definition include a notion of religion.

not talking about murder here. just about the notion of "sin".

Does the notion of "sin" not qualify as bigotry?

You and I remembered different things about these emails. I asked if we really had to source and quote them to find out who is right and who is wrong.

There is no "horror" in DNC emails. just evidence of crass corruption and cynicism from Clinton's campaign.

So wait, are you saying there is nothing significant in the Podesta emails... while at the same time the would have "made Trump elected"? :)

Some of the substance of the emails summarized here: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/10/us/politics/hillary-clinton-emails-wikileaks.html

• The speech of Clinton at Wall Street is one of the most devastating because she actually lied and used double speech all the way
• The efforts to undermine Sanders are despickable
• Inflating Trump campaign, of all GOP candidates, is both dumb, cynical and short-sighted.

But again that's only the bits i personally remember from (reading) the emails.

All I said is:

• this was newsworthy and of general interest;
• any journalist like Assange, if given authentic, unaltered material of general interest has a duty to publish them. (that's called journalism);
• there is no evidence that WikiLeaks knew their source was from RU intel (if it was). It was said many time the organisation functioned in such way that they cannot know the identity of their sources, and anyone who has ever been in the business of source protection would confirm it is a smart principle.

To other fantasy claims that "WL had the GOP emails too but decided not to published them lol" i replied "haha wait what?!" and was presented with meak links about "GOP got 'hacked' period" with no trace of email being transmitted to whoever.

Now please go on barking about my nickname, changing topic or whatever.

(never sayd Podesta was a meanie. i think anyone involved in the DNC or GOP is probably a piece of shit that doesnt deserve my respect, but i think the same of many other political parties in many other countries...)

oh and by any chance, are you from the USofA? that way you have of being right about things by being louder.... quite fascinating :)

you're really funny :)
