TIL that software that is GPL 3 is not GPL enough for rms to make a dep of emacs (lolllll):

@kick GPL2 is more than free enough for any reasonable person
@kick i disagree. i think everything after gpl2 is just stallman's anticapitalistic bent, including and especially the AGPL. software freedom isn't communism and people are still entitled to keeping their own patches secret/private.
@kick can't subject anyone to anything; my webserver only responds to inbound requests, it does not support push. any interaction with my webserver happens because the client subjected themselves to it
The AGPL is not anti-capitalist, and doesn't stop you from keeping patches private. It just stops you from hurting others with proprietary software. That's pretty simple. You can even sell the software! In no way at all is that anti-capitalist.
