GPL *IS* een virus, dus het helemaal zo gek nog niet.
GPL is volgens mij een licentietype maar ik ben benieuwd
naar je argumenten.
Hier alvast het aloude bewijs dat Windows geen virus is:
Is Windows a virus?
No, Windows is not a virus. Here's what viruses (viri?) do:
1. They replicate quickly -- okay, Windows does that.
2. Viruses use up valuable system resources, slowing down
the system as they do so -- okay, Windows does that.
3. Viruses will, from time to time, trash your hard disk
-- okay, Windows does that, too.
4. Viruses are usually carried, unknown to the user,
along with valuable programs and systems. Sigh... Windows
does that, too.
5. Viruses will occasionally make the user suspect their
system is too slow (see 2) and the user will buy new
hardware. Yup, that's with Windows, too.
So it seems Windows is a virus, but there are some
fundamental differences: Viruses are well supported by their
authors, run on a wide range of hardware, have fast, compact
and efficient program code, and tend to become more
sophisticated as they mature.
So, Windows is not a virus.
