@infeeeee I did not argue that they are breaking the GPL or that there are other companies that are breaking it.
I argue that in their essence @mikrotik are hostile to open source.
And here is my chance to correct you that selling software is not against the GPL or other open-source licenses. They may sell whatever they like, just as long as its source is included under an open-source license.
They can sell just support as well, I bet you their primarily-shitty-ISP clientele will still buy.
