¿Qué os parece? :-?
No me queda muy claro lo de las licencias. Si Rust es un compilador,
los
programas que hagas con él pueden seguir siendo GPL, así que no le
veo
problema, es como si usas programas escritos en Perl o en Fortran.
O 26/03/25 �s 05:03, [email protected] escribiu:
Ac� hay se nota mucha confusi�n:
1.
Ning�n lenguaje de programaci�n obliga a que el resultado tenga una
licencia, es decir que no se necesita la licencia del MIT para hacer
un programa en Rust
Entre comillas, puesto que los compiladores incluyen, en el programa
final, c�digo suyo. GCC tiene una cl�usula en su licencia (https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gcc-exception-3.1-faq.html) para evitar
que los programas compilados con el tengan que ser GPL.
Al menos eso es lo que se le�a en los grupos de noticias por aquella �poca.
No se donde viste eso, pero las declaraciones de Torvalds te
contradicen, y lo cito, en ingl�s:
"So that original copyright license was just me writing things up, there
was pretty obviously no actual lawyerese or anything there.
The two important parts were the "full source has to be available" and
"no money may be involved". The note about copyright notices was because
I tended to hate the copyright boilerplate verbiage at the top of every single source file, so I knew there weren't all that many notices
scattered in the sources themselves.
The "no money" part came about because I had been annoyed with (being a rather poor student) having to pay something like $169 USD for Minix,
and that had been a fair amount of money to me. I felt that part of the
point was to make something available to others in my situation, and
that it really should be "free" in the actual money sense.
So for me, "free" as in "gratis" was actually an earlier concern than
the whole "free as in freedom". I still happen to believe that being available even if you're a poor person who really doesn't have any money
at all is at least as important as anything else, because that's a basic availability issue for many people."
Luego agrega que el cambio de licencia fue porque, lo cito de nuevo, en ingles:
"Part of it was also because I felt that the availability of gcc was
very important to the project, so picking the GPLv2 as a homage to gcc
was appropriate.
Put another way: I still think that the availability issue is very
important. But I think the GPL makes that a non-issue in practice, so
making the license to be about the money side is pointless. And clearly _allowing_ the commercial side has been a very good thing for
everybody."
Entonces nadie oblig� a Torvalds, simplemente lo hizo como un homenaje a
la licencia del GCC y porque quer�a eliminar la restricci�n de uso
comercial que ten�a el kernel original, adem�s de que pens� que la GPL garantizaba que Linux pod�a seguir siendo gratis.
