#snuff cw

I know what you are

a consistent problem in the freeuse world is that even many acts which inhibit the usage rights of others are permitted - most pervasively the private enslavement of nominally freeuse facilities, but occurrences even as extreme as snuff have been attested

the gpl was born out of growing frustrations with this rampant disregard for the spirit of free-use.  a so-called “viral” license, it permitted only usage which did not excessively inhibit the usage rights of others

formally, this means that any act could be performed only so long as that act could be reasonably expected to be performed by a number of other people “of a reasonable population in the spirit of multiple-use”

this bans snuff outright, as such an act may only be performed once and by a single person; private slavery on the order of a couple weeks is permitted, as this does not unreasonably inhibit the ability of others to use the facilities (wait times of a few weeks to a few months are well within the expectations of “a reasonable population”), but private slavery of multiple years is not, as such a timeline could only be taken advantage of by a few individuals before the expiration of the facilities

in fact, the “spirit of multiple-use” clause has attracted quite a bit of controversy, both over the precise domain of its application and its ostensible unenforceability, particularly in a sector as hostile to regulation as this

(there have been arguments about whether, for example, the clause prohibits snuff of facilities sufficiently close to their expiration, for example)
