I’ve always seen section 7 of the gplv3 as been problematic - ever since encountering it with a flash video player of some sort back in the day. Felts very much like it was stomping on my freedom, unlike gplv2 which said “do whatever you want as long as you don’t stop anyone else doing whatever they want”.

HN doesn’t like the gpl as their consider it restricts their freedom to reduce other people freedom. I get it, HN are temporary embarrassed billionaires waiting to use free software to create the next unicorn. I’m from an older generation who just wants freedom to use software however I want.
