1 00:00:11,701 --> 00:00:15,330 What is kind of special about Linux is that 2 00:00:15,500 --> 00:00:19,202 it kind of uses a judo trick in copyright law 3 00:00:19,658 --> 00:00:25,650 turning the copyright law kind of against itself, in saying that, 4 00:00:25,690 --> 00:00:27,992 sure, we own the copyright to this 5 00:00:28,237 --> 00:00:31,767 but you get to copy it freely. You can do whatever you want with it. 6 00:00:38,219 --> 00:00:42,219 You can use it in any way, you can change it in any way 7 00:00:42,461 --> 00:00:46,567 The only thing that we require is that when you change it, and you give it to 8 00:00:46,697 --> 00:00:50,567 somebody else, you give that somebody else the same rights 9 00:00:56,238 --> 00:01:01,278 So when somebody else makes changes to Linux, I don't ask him to assign the 10 00:01:01,478 --> 00:01:06,908 copyright to me. So I actually don't have any rights to a lot of the system 11 00:01:07,168 --> 00:01:10,948 except the rights that other people are willing to give me, which are the same 12 00:01:11,128 --> 00:01:14,818 rights that I am willing to give other people. So what you will find is that 13 00:01:14,978 --> 00:01:17,359 nobody can control Linux. 14 00:01:17,489 --> 00:01:21,399 I don't have anymore rights than you have. If you wanted to, 15 00:01:21,519 --> 00:01:25,489 you could buy a Linux CD, you could get it over the internet, 16 00:01:25,659 --> 00:01:29,489 you could make your own changes 17 00:01:34,374 --> 00:01:44,404 [Trade-free means TROMjaro is yours]
