If they're gonna make proprietary black boxes of spying, I'd rather they spend their own money for it rather than using the code created by the selfless FOSS contributors, ngl.

Just because fascism-lovers desire a dystopia doesn't mean we have to make it easy for them.

    You seem to have a very idealized idea of how selfless this whole thing is. Google has sponsored a lot of work in the kernel, so have multiple corporations over the years. This is not some puppies and raibows shit here.

    It just happens to work really well because the license and multiple interest of a good kernel do just that: a good kernel.

    Surveillance issues and too strong corporations are an issue with your government, not the kernel

    I'm not absolving governments at all so I'm not quite antithetical to this position either. I understand that a GPL license might have meant less corporate incentives but I also do despise how most corporations are moving these days so it is what it is I guess.
