-TechBytesBot/#techbytes-lists.gnu.org | The sad decline of copyleft software licenses? :(Sep 23 06:54
schestowitz> There are a lot of good points rebutting the disinformation in some ofSep 23 06:54
schestowitz> the replies.  But the main problem identified in the first message seemsSep 23 06:54
schestowitz> to be that an anti-copyleft paragraph got piggybacked onto a mostlySep 23 06:54
schestowitz> sound article and people are taking it as the truth, though it is not.Sep 23 06:54
schestowitzA lot of money was sunk into anti-GPL rhetoric.Sep 23 06:54
schestowitz> And it might be good to remind people about the importance of describingSep 23 06:56
schestowitz> lesser licenses as non-reciprocal rather than "permissive".  They aren'tSep 23 06:56
schestowitz> permissive, they merely give more flexibility to the developers than theSep 23 06:56
schestowitz> copyleft licenses.  That includes the flexibility to take away softwareSep 23 06:56
schestowitz> freedoms.  The copyleft licenses, in contrast, give more flexibility toSep 23 06:56
schestowitz> the end users.  That is where the real balance lies: developer versusSep 23 06:56
schestowitz> end-users.  It is a divisive lie spread by M$ boosters to say that oneSep 23 06:56
schestowitz> style is more free than another, it is instead a matter of who benefitsSep 23 06:56
schestowitz> most, the developer(s) or the many end-users.  The article linked to inSep 23 06:56
schestowitz> the first message even identifies that dichotomy without calling it outSep 23 06:56
schestowitz> explicitly as such.  Either way, the licenses need to be called whatSep 23 06:56
schestowitz> they are, non-reciprocal, to get the debate back onto track.  Otherwise,Sep 23 06:56
schestowitz> microsofters just laugh and benefit from the in-fighting as a smallSep 23 06:56
schestowitz> number of developers are pitted against everyone else.Sep 23 06:56
schestowitzUsually I put 'permissive' in scare quotes.Sep 23 06:56
