GNU organization requests more compliance with gplv3 from spacemacs: https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/issues/14444
Their interpretation is quite far fetched IMO Spacemacs is more of a package manager and a suite of packages than an emacs distribution. Also, emacs, being a sort of overlay OS, is modified by emacs lisp code the same way the JVM is modified by running byte code. I wonder what they're trying to achieve
I also wonder if gnusupport is a lawyer
Heh. I do not wonder that at all
yuck
why yuck?
gplv3 pollutes everything
you think that person is an official representative? no links no http://gnu.org and I thought it was the fsf that did enforcement (and probably not via a github issue). seems like a crank
yes i believe so. they mentioned stuff on the mailing list
i believe the user posting this issue has control of <mailto:bugs@gnu.support|bugs@gnu.support>
. Ah, on further inspection, the gnu.support website says
