Can you release SQLiteStudio under a license other than the GNU GPL? Richard Stallman is extremely repulsive. #5006

GPL != Stellman Should we stop exploring space with rockets, because rockets were invented by a Nazi? (Wernher von Braun) Or even better (less arguable) example - should we push back medical advancements by decades by stopping to rely on DNA research, because it was discovered by James Watson, who's been known for his racist statements and sexual harassment? Stellman is known long time for his controversial opinions and I personally never liked him because of that, but it doesn't mean the world should drop GPL licensing. GPL is good. It brought a lot of positive changes to the world. |

Here are a few quotes from his own website:
[believes eg child porn videos shouldn't be removed from the Internet]
"When making pornography involves real abuse of real children, those who
distribute it under a business relationship with the abusers arguably
participate in the abuse. They could be prosecuted for doing so.
However, that does not excuse censorship. No matter how disgusting
published works might be, censorship is more disgusting."

[doubts children are harmed by pedophilic abuse]
"necrophilia, bestiality, possession of child pornography, and even
incest and pedophilia... should be legal as long as no one is coerced.
They are illegal only because of prejudice and narrowmindedness."

[high schools should employ sex teachers to fsck kids all day long]
Every secondary school should aim for all of its graduates to be fully
capable in sexuality; none should be excluded from participation in sex
due to lack of proper experience. Therefore, the school should have
several sex teachers, adults with whom students can learn to be
comfortable with sex and confident in pleasing their lovers. They would
also learn good habits for avoidance of disease and pregnancy.
