I agree. However, there is some overlap, and where they overlap we really should be using the same terminology. Otherwise things just become way too confusing. For example, one of the recent posts referred to open hardware that can only be spread under the same licence as Libre. This same concept also exists for software however, and there it's called copyleft. That this concept exists for software shouldn't affect the decision whether it should be part of the open hardware definition. However, _if_ it is included, it should be called "copyleft". Lourens
