Is CocoaTech Violating the GPL?

Posted by Cliff on from the bad-company-no-donut dept.

elliotj asks: "In the latest version of their Finder-replacement product, PathFinder CocoaTech has included a terminal feature based on sourcecode from the GPL'd iTerm. They have made available the classes they developed from the iTerm sources, but not all the sourcecode for their product. Since iTerm is GPL (and not LGPL), shouldn't they have to make the ENTIRE codebase available? This is being debated on their forums. If this is true, what can we do to get CocoaTech to open up the rest of the code?"

    Since it is supposed to be given out under the GPL, it is time for someone to hack it and give it away.

    Umm, say what? What the fuck did APPLE have to do with the "internet", you cum guzzling fanboy? I've been using the "net" since my BITNET days back in the early 80's, and I don't recall any particular contributions that have benefitted me, which came out of Apple...

    I can't believe you keep buying that fucking shit. You're so much like those Windows using sheeple, it's amazing. Bend over and take another ass fucking, sheep!
