Stealing software and stealing software and sell it for profit are two different things.
I never thought i would let me drag into this SX stealing Drama, but when i read a sentence like this i have to say something so here we go:
1) Everyone who uses the term "stealing" or even better "stealing from open source scene":
They are not "stealing", they are violating the GPL, two totally different things.
But i get it, "stealing" sounds so much severe than "violating GPL" and gives so much better opportunity to play the SJW role.
And they are not violating the GPL by making a profit from it but by not making SXOS open source.
From the GPL: "
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
this service if you wish),
"
"
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
rights."
So in conclusion, please everyone, refrain from using the term "stealing" in the future and start talking about "GPL Violation"
2) Very interesting moral code and interpretation of the law you got there. So stealing is ok since you are not selling it for profit?
Yes you are, your "profit" is that you didn't have to pay for the product you are using. So trying to draw a moral line here to duck behind is ridiculous
