We seem to have drifted. Of course ultimately the opinion of the legislators and judges are what determines what licences are effective and in what way. Copyright lawyers draft the stuff hoping for the right interpretation if it ends up in court. Hopefully we the plebs apply the pressure, vote, and make suggestions which the hired help translate into the required licence. Each party has their role to play, and their opinions to express, and likely there is/will be diversity of views from the plebs to the High Court judges. The only ones left out in the cold in this scenario, are those 100% convinced they know which way this is going to go. > Im arguing for an outcome which is compatible with as many users as > possible and that people already know and understand and have tested. > Im also arguing for an outcome which wouldnt see the complete > splintering of the project in the long-term.
