I for one find all the license talk fascinating. I'm still smarting
from Mathieu's response to the question 'what is free software? - answer
" a set of licenses", from a while back. Whereas I like to think of it
as an ethical and political manifesto/code of conduct, he's quite
correct that yes it is just a bunch of licenses.
It's reductionist to call it just a bunch of licenses, but for certain
aspects, it's all that matters. However, if we're thinking about why those
licenses exist and why people use them, we have to think of people,
manifestoes, and the events that led people to change their minds so that
they would want to write manifestoes and licenses, etc.
