GPLv3 is less proprietary than GPLv2, in the sense that it does a better job at protecting end-users from being abused by device makers that would try to close up their Linux-based system.

Ah, an optimist.

Ah, the usual disguised !orphancrushing@lemmy.world. Don’t get me wrong: I enjoy a clever hack (especially a money-saving one) as much as the next guy, but there’s no legitimate reason the grandmas shouldn’t have had easy access to proper hearing aids to begin with.

(In fact, this is double !orphancrushing@lemmy.world because it’s also about how they had to defeat Apple’s anti-property-rights location restrictions to do it.)
