In what seems to be good news for the open source crowd development Linux ecosystem, one Patrick McHardy was beat.
As a contributor he's sueing companies for GPL violation.

Guess I'll sue Suckerberg, I'm a contributor to FB content. Glad some torrent sites don't have © nor GPL boundaries.

Don't mess with that community. One good thing we have that liberates what greedy people would hide away.

Sure any free speech is a good thing, but to what extent is it really free?
FB and others are just lenient until you go into some touchy area.
Most of the time it is for chit-chat anyway. I think Discus is more of a democratic platform as it favors discussion, not just food pictures and memes.
