This strikes me as oversimplistic. What if a commercial enterprise wanted to license its IPR in such a way that it put no constraints on open source, but retained constraints on commercial competitors? I'm not sure you can get around a technical mandate for some kind of license and still retain those options. -- Nathaniel

That's not hard. We need licensing conditions that don't require us to either pay royalties or sign legal papers, and which don't inhibit re-use of the code by restricting the area of application. -- <a href="http://www.catb.org/~esr/";>Eric S. Raymond</a>
