Anything people make, no mater how good, can and has been purchased to be turned to shit and controlled by those that purchase it.

GPL would like to have a word with you.

Free software can't be "purchased," so it can't be turned to shit 👍 Good point.

To clarify mine where needed: the purchasing of what people make is what eventually turns it to shit. (Not just that it's made, apologies if that was confusing.)

So I completely agree GPL is fantastic and the way forward for us a civilization.

Seriously appreciate this point as a great example of what DOES work well for both creators and community.
