Plain false. It is currently possible, AFAICS:
address@hidden:~/public_html/moi$ ls
index.xhtml moi.rdf
address@hidden:~/public_html/moi$ sudo chmod go-r /bin/ls
address@hidden:~/public_html/moi$ ls
index.xhtml moi.rdf
Maybe I missed something...
Remember that there is no clause in GCC license that forbids its use
with proprietary software. Maybe because *this* is really supporting
freedom.
Rejecting an otherwise legitimate use case because it would be used for
something otherwise allowed and accepted by the society but that you
personally find bad is, IMHO, quite the opposite of free software.
And I really think this a way of thinking and acting for free software
that would cause more harm to it than good.
I'm a strong advocate of free software, and I'm just trying to convince
one of my customers to release the software he's paying me to develop
with a free software license. I know forcing him would just bring him to
think free software is dangerous. Educating him and having him to accept
will be far more productive in the long term. We are here in a similar
situation with confinement.
Freely,
Nowhere man
