Freedom isn't free, it's earned by the spines of those who turn down the easy path.

@gabriel thanks to his work (as well as many other contributors), there is a generation that calls these cones "the vlc logo".

@gabriel The very concept of freedom is that it's free.

Although freedom isn't gratis or magically there - someone else has fought for it, or you need to do so.


As far as I can tell he wasn't the original author, although he is a major contributor.

Even if he wanted to, he couldn't make VLC proprietary thanks to the freedom that the GPLv2 and LGPLv2.1 ensures.
