At face value I really like the idea of Copyfarleft- but I think this is one of
the areas where compromise really is necessary. It is hard enough getting
businesses to use free software as it is, and if we restrict the realm of
possibility to only worker coops then most businesses (which are traditional
totalitarianisms) will simply use non-free software.

Capitalism should be overthrown, but capitalism cannot be overthrown through
software licenses.

So, in a nutshell- copyfarleft is a nice idea, but counterproductive within the
context of capitalism and not really something worth pursuing. This is from an
anarchist.

(P.S. I have not been getting any posts from the mailing list except those
which were posted there by email, such as adfeno's. Please fix this.)
