What is kind of special about Linux
is that

00:00:15.500 --> 00:00:19.202
it kind of uses a judo trick 
in copyright law

00:00:19.658 --> 00:00:25.650
turning the copyright law kind of 
against itself, in saying that,

00:00:25.690 --> 00:00:27.992
sure, we own the copyright to this

00:00:28.237 --> 00:00:31.767
but you get to copy it freely. 
You can do whatever you want with it.

00:00:38.219 --> 00:00:42.219
You can use it in any way,
you can change it in any way

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

00:00:46.697 --> 00:00:50.567
somebody else, you give that somebody else
the same rights

00:00:56.238 --> 00:01:01.278
So when somebody else makes changes to 
Linux, I don't ask him to assign the

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

00:01:07.168 --> 00:01:10.948
except the rights that other people are 
willing to give me, which are the same

00:01:11.128 --> 00:01:14.818
rights that I am willing to give other 
people. So what you will find is that

00:01:14.978 --> 00:01:17.359
nobody can control Linux.

00:01:17.489 --> 00:01:21.399
I don't have anymore rights than you 
have. If you wanted to,

00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:25.489
you could buy a Linux CD, you could get 
it over the internet,

00:01:25.659 --> 00:01:29.489
you could make your own changes

00:01:34.374 --> 00:01:44.404
[Trade-free means TROMjaro is yours]
