Yeah right, let's all ignore the swedes talking about their own nation and listen to actual facts

If the monkey expects other poor bananaa-less monkeys to behave in same standards as his educated ass deserves , then he better his bit to help progress the society which allowed him to have all those said benefits .

The monkey may buy his "private banana peeling education" , but failing to remember his anscestor monkeys and community monkeys who kept improving art of banana peeling and publishing it freely lead to the said monkey to live in era of "modern banana peeling" is a crime.

There is no price for education than helping others receive it , paying your bit to improve the overall condition of monkey kind is the only way to repay the debt

Worker ownership is defining quality of socialism.

Marx saw capitalism as better than feudalism, but it is progression to next step aka Communism.

But most "communist revolutions" have devolved to state owned capitalism instead of worker ownership.

The question is can such licenses alone (without radical copyleft GNU) can sustain the free software movement's spirit.

I side with camp which thinks copyleft is major way to push towards free software.

It comes down to wether you ideologically support idea that software should essentially be distributed with the source code always. (RMS's view).

The strong adherence to "political bullshit" is why such forks are possible.

The Free software movement needs a few extremists like RMS.

For all those who constantly whine against decisions of RMS, you can atleast go start a fork of emacs if you wanted. Unlike macOS which is commercial jail , you have to beg for years for any bug fix/feature you want, and even then it won't be implemented.

Someone has to be ideologically pure, in a world of jailed software.

This is genuinely scary, black mirror tv episode -ish.

Future Trumps can follow some algorithm to have maximum appeal to voters ..

Or Clinton supporters were idiots not to back Bernie, you reap what you sow.

Alan Kay's inspiration for OOP and message passing seems to have come from working in microbiology.

Maybe thinking/finding about how biology does its computation will be important for machines that can scale very well?

Are you suggesting for browsers to be sandboxed execution environments ?

Then it will be more like Java Applets or Flash applications, I think some restrictions have lead to better index ability(hyperlinks, search engines) , accessibility in web.

A better medium doesn't necessarily mean untamed or freer medium. If restrictions can create a medium which has better accessibility, then maybe they are not so bad.
