  Am I supposed to recognize what that acronym refers to? Root Mean Square?

  I doubt they’re different arguments than I’ve already seen a dozen times by idiots who only think one step through the consequences of their idea.

    Richard Stallman, the creator of the GPL, a “copyleft” license. The problem is that Open Source Software is entirely reliant on a strong copyright system to be enforced. There is nothing else that prevents companies from just keeping everything proprietary, even if it’s all oss under the hood.

      Who explicitly points out that short duration copyright is probably what is in society’s best interest and in the best interest for those who create works. (By short, he means 5 years of copyright protection)

      Open source software doesn’t benefit from longer term protections than that.
