GPL explicitly mentions that you are allowed to make money off your code

>>107748300
You miss the point
Nothing stops you from selling free software, so you might as well make some money

But why would I pay for something that's free

Most companies are deathly afraid of GPL'd code since they would have to open source theirs if they ship some. If you want this, use GPL.

windows (and non droid android) users pay the stupid tax for binaries, it's a common business model

White people have this skill called "long term planning", basically it's when you imagine or predict what the world will look like in months or years based on what choices you make today. For example, I could predict that if I and other like-minded people donate to a software project, the developers will be encouraged to maintain and improve it. On the other hand, if everyone just downloads it without contributing, it is less likely to receive continued development. This kind of abstract, long-term reasoning is what separates white people from the lesser races.

AGPLv3 license for individual nonprofit users, paid commercial license for companies regardless of them being proprietary. Corporate doesn't care about paying for software so enforce the fee on them like the cucks they are while normal people get it for free.

He got rich despite writing free software.
Unlike larpers on this board, he actually did what he preached.
Proprietary companies that only care about money are overran by jeets and free software is done by white people and jews, imagine my shock...
Ever heard of Daniel Stenberg? He maintains curl, and offers for-pay tech support to jeeted companies that are too nigger to use libcurl for free lmao. libcurl isn't even GPL and despite that this model still works, code itself isn't worth much, just like ideas.
Anyone screeching about GPL and doing it for free is a jeet.

They wouldn't have to, they could easily pay you for a proprietary license because (You) own the code.
Even with a cuck license, companies still sometimes end up paying out of their ass https://rock-solid.curl.dev/

For the same reason that people say, "just give me an EXE. I don't know how to use a GitHub repo".

He is the lead developer of GNU Operating System.

>>107749331
Would they still do that if you accompany the proprietary license with a clause of "no support"?

>>107749312
No, he got rich being a preacher. A very small percentage of programmers make money out of free software

>it is not impossible to make money being a freetard
>it is just very very very hard to do so

>>107748390
You could charge for official distribution of the compiled form of the program
You can sell support
You can sell managed instances of software, if that's applicable to its type

>>107749436
This is true of any skill.
>>107749392
>we will pay you for support
>no thanks
explain how does this work in your nigger brain

>>107749594
I meant paying for not having to use GPL. Would companies do so without implicit support?
