Stealing is about wrongful changing of ownership. Note that there is no requirement to credit the original authors, which some people seem to believe.

However, these laws should allow fair use and should include a reasonable time limit. Copying without permission may deprive them from these benefits, so it is good to have some copyright laws protecting the authors. Most authors expect some kind of tangible or intangible benefits when they publish their works. I think that it is reasonable to allow authors to protect their original works for a limited amount of time. If I write a book, an essay, a piece of software, or if I create some nice pictures or music, then I don't want to have my work copied by others unless I allow them to do so (the GPL or the Creative Commons licenses are ways to allow that under some conditions). In these cases copyright is a GOOD thing for me, because otherwise I would have been deprived of many of their writings, and that would be a BAD thing.įrom my point of view, copyright is good if it is limited, both in time and in scope. If the money hadn't been there he would have kept looking for (other) work. If he had had to keep teaching college chemistry and doing chemistry research (though he never really did that) to support himself and his family he wouldn't have had nearly as much time to write.īurroughs is an example of someone that wrote almost solely (probably) for the money. He (again, according to him) worked 80 hours/week on writing sometimes. Money wasn't even his main motivation for writing (according to him). Anything that creates this kind of obligation is a copyright of some kind.Īsimov is a great example. Wodehouse, Roald Dahl, Agatha Christie,, etc.Īll of these authors are(were) prolific (at least in some sense), and wouldn't have been nearly so if no one had been obligated to pay them for use of their writings. Heinlein, Orson Scott Card, Charles Dickens, Anne Perry, Cynthia Voigt, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Weis & Hickman, Louis L'amour, C. If you aren't in compliance with the GPL, and what you're doing isn't considered "fair dealing", then you're in breach of plain old copyright law.Ĭopyright is NOT bad always. The GPL is a licence to do something above and beyond your "fair dealing" rights - determined by the courts - applicable to copyright law. So you might be expected to produce an "alphabit soup reader" in court.ĭon't forget that there isn't really such a thing as "violating the GPL".

The GPL also stipulates in clause 3 that the source code must be "machine-readable" and "on a medium customarily used for software interchange". This is why I believe in Source Code Escrow for closed source projects this copy can be unsealed to ensure its entry into the Public Domain.
