If they stole it because I kept it ARR, I could issue takedowns everywhere they posted it. I could use the platform they are giving me by their violation to call them out publically as criminals who are against the rule of law and property. But they didn’t steal it, I gave it to them. They might even thank me, like how Truth Social thanked the Mastodon authors.</p><p>I don’t feel that’s the same result at all.</p>

I am suggesting that I feel there there is a difference between volunteering your work, and having it stolen</p>

The law doesn't protect someone like me; it protects capital. You could convince yourself that it does, but I don't have this privilege available to me, and I know exactly what happens if I make the mistake of believing it otherwise.</p>

With pretty much every other type of licence, if someone is doing bad things, you can terminate the licence. If I choose to use a licence where I can’t do it, like it or not, it’s effectively the same as me volunteering for them. </p><p>While you can’t stop someone using software by just revoking a licence, there is a world of difference between being an accomplice and having your work illegally used against your permission. And you in turn change their stance to criminal, against the rule of law and corporate interests, which for a certain type of baddie fights against their image.</p><p>Corporations use software with and enter into revocable agreements all the time. Every single one of them are, from sales contracts to employment contracts. Eternal, globally sublicensable, transferable, irrevocable are freakishly rare terms even on their own, let alone all together.</p>

<p>This time it worked! The overhauled gear on the main course and awkward hoisting position on the sloop deck makes it challenging to thread the Swedish furled stunsail and yard through a narrow window of staysail sheets.</p>
<p>We continue to find new and unique ways to fuck up the stunsail hoisting operation.</p>
