    What about CC-BY-SA? Open source, share-alike, but restricts modifying the code.

    What? That’s not true at all. You can make derivative works with CC-BY-SA.

    Edit: your comment was wrong in multiple ways, and I only addressed one before replying.

    In addition to simply not saying what you claimed it says, CC-BY-SA is also not, in fact, “Open Source” because it doesn’t appear on the list of OSI-approved Open Source licenses. That means OSI either rejected it or didn’t evaluate it at all. (I assume the latter, in this case, because CC-BY-SA isn’t even intended for software source code to begin with!)

    Libre software restricts people from sharing code under another closed license.

    No, copyright law itself restricts people from sharing code. “Open Source” or “Free Software” licenses relax those restrictions. Restrictions are never added by the license, only conditions limiting when they may be relaxed.

      This is exactly why copyleft licenses are now implemented within the context of intellectual property law. You can’t have a socialist biodome specifically for code.

      CC-BY-SA is also not, in fact, “Open Source” because it doesn’t appear on the list of OSI-approved Open Source licenses.

      Any license that prohibits modification will do. As any license that prohibits redistribution under a closed license will also do.

      EDIT: “do” = to refute your statement, from which you just so vehemently distanced yourself, lmao

        No.

        The rest of your word salad isn’t even worth responding to.

          Well, my bad. I meant CC-BY-ND.

          The rest of your word salad isn’t even worth responding to.

          Now go refute my other arguments, which totally refute your fallacious statement that open source entails copyleft because Richard Stoolman wants it that way. Let’s not discuss what other things he wants his way, lol.

            Not an open source license, so what the fuck is your point?

            Now go refute my other arguments

            Your word salad isn’t coherent enough to form any sort of “argument” in the first place.
