Can I Use Notcurses in My Program?

▼ Can I use Notcurses in my closed-source program? Notcurses is licensed under Apache2, a demonstration that I have transcended your petty world of material goods, fiat currencies, and closed sources. Implement Microsoft Bob in it. Charge rubes for it. Put it in your ballistic missiles so that you have a nice LED display of said missile's speed and projected yield; right before impact, scroll "FUCK YOU" in all the world's languages, and close it out with a smart palette fade. Carve the compiled objects onto bricks and mail them to Richard Stallman, taunting him through a bullhorn as you do so.

A screenshot shows an absurdly elaborate response to someone asking whether Notcurses can be used in a closed-source program. The joke escalates from software licensing into missiles, multilingual profanity, carved bricks, and taunting Richard Stallman, parodying extreme open-source ideology and over-the-top technical enthusiasm.
