GPL isn’t the only open source license. This comment is beyond bizarre because it seems to imply that all open source software is GPL? And of course when software is licensed as GPL, that license can be enforced when someone breaks it (like your example). The original comment never mentioned GPL, it was about when something was licensed ss free. So when you give an example where it wasn’t licensed as such, what was the point?

Even if 100% of streaming services’ revenue went to artists it could still be less money.
The problem isn’t Spotify itself, it’s the business model of streaming being way too cheap.
The point of a 100 dollar merch hoodie isn’t that you get a 100 dollars worth of hoodie. It’s that you support the artist. A less expensive hoodie means less for the artists. That’s kinda the point of merch…
It doesn’t feel like a premium material and it accumulates scratches and imperfections faster. Glass is either fine… or completely broken. Not a good heat conductor either.
