Re: [Trisquel-users] Question about Free GNU/Linux distributions

Reducing copyright terms to 5 years might be nice conditionally (the  
condition being on finding a way for copyleft to continue functioning without  
copyright which is a difficult topic. Copyright is only bad in my view when  
it's used to prevent sharing. When it's used as with copyleft to mandate that  
freedoms come along with a given work then it's actually being helpful), but  
in truth we'll never be able to out-lobby the large corporations for such a  
change to actually happen so it remains at best a thought experiment.  
https://freedomdefined.org/Licenses/NC has also some arguments against  
non-commercial licensing, including one of how using NC terms supports those  
ever-long copyright terms.
