Hey Kaspar! > IMHO this is not a "oooh how nice, someone found a way to make money out of > this! good for them!" situation. It has the possiblity to become a "Oh nice. > Those contributers write code we can sell and they don't want anything in > return" situation.
I think it is both. And I understand that you (and other people) don't feel
comfortable if companies might earn money with the code you've written in your
free time - although I don't share this feeling (which might be because I've
arguably written less code in my free time). On the other hand, free software
also means that this software might be used for any purpose - even to harm or
kill people. LGPL (or any other discussed license) does not prevent this. Are
you feeling comfortable with that?
What I'm trying to say: the world might be a good or an evil place (or
something in between), depending on your personal mindset, but can we really
change this by choosing our license?
The other thing I read from your comment is: if any company earns money with
the code I contributed to, I want to benefit from it - either by being part of
this company or by having this company contributing back. Is this
interpretation right?
Cheers,
Oleg
