Leaked Samsung exFat driver relicensed as GPL

I agree with the actions of the repo maintainer.

Why should we play along with unjust copyright laws? GPL sheep are just part of the problem, creating their own nest of licensing woes everytime you touch their code.

Even if you don't want to play along with copyright laws - and I can perfectly understand why one wouldn't - that's not a reason to deceive people by claiming the code to be GPL licensed and make them liable if they redistribute it.

If one wants to say "fuck copyright", putting a copyright license in the code is not the really the most appropriate way.

I think deception is a valid tool for creating chaos and chaos is a valid tool for bringing down systems.

Obviously a troll account since it was created for the specific purpose of posting that comment (created 1 hour ago, posted 1 hour ago)...
