Come one come all to the Lemmy-verse! It's nice and cozy here, we do have some "bad parts of town" but you can do an instance block and not deal with them lol
Developers that use our General Public Licenses protect your rights
with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer
you this License which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute
and/or modify the software.
you assert the first part as fact and then kinda skip over the second part...at least that's how i read your comment.
yes, the copyright owner (the creator) "owns" the work...but then immediately uses said ownership to explicitly allow everyone else to do just about anything with it, short of claiming it as one's own creation.
you are the best kind of correct, but only that kind.
Addendum: Yes we know that you think ml/hexbear/grad are tankies and or .world are a bunch of liberals but it gets old quickly. Try and come up with new material.
This is not the place to start flamewars between Lemmy, Mbin and Piefed.
