I understand that the FSF is really, really hung up on every detail of the GPL, but frankly, they're fanatics.
The details of the GPL are necessary to prevent bad-faith actors from taking GPLed code and distributing it to users while preventing those users from exercising the four freedoms. It is important to the FSF that such bad-faith actors be stopped. There are other people, of which you may be one, who are less concerned with bad-faith actors and simply want to have a community of free or open source, even if parts of that code wind up in non-free programs. Other licenses such as BSD or Apache might be more appropriate for them. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
