No, that's not a valid assumption. They see their own goals met (or met most closely) by picking this license over the alternatives. Those goals certainly need not match the goals or ideology of the license authors. If you take a look at Richard Stallman's personal side, you'll find a _lot_ of political goals and views which have found no reflection at all in either FSF or GPL. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
