> Noone is going to spend time making something

Yes they will.

Not everyone is like you who will collapse into anger and outrage at the thought of other people creating new things based on your work.

I do not care if anyone uses any of my intellectual property that I have ever created.

In fact, I would be flattered if people use the stuff that I have built to them make newer cooler things.

I support anyone and everyone "stealing" any intellectual property that I have every created.




Good for you; unfortunately, you don't speak for everyone. Particularly those who create things for a living.


I didn't say there I speak for everyone.

Instead I am refuting your completely false statement of"Noone is going to spend time making something" that I was responding to.

So great, you agree with me that yes there are people like me who will continue to produce intellectual property and release it to the public.

> Particularly those who create things for a living.

I create things for a living to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.

So yes, I speak, at least partily, for those people and am totally fine with people stealing my work.


Have you created much intellectual property?


Well I have been a software engineer for the last decade, at a major FAANG company so yes.
