Open Source and Web 2.0
,----[ Quote ]
| Moglen came out swinging, tossing out verbal jabs at the notion of Web 2.0
| and the apolitical notions of open source. Moglen asserted that he was being
| grumpy this morning because certain people had left the free software
| movement early to make money and left the free software folks to do all of
| the heavy lifting.
|
| [...]
|
| Moglen emphasized that Web 2.0 is nothing new under the sun, that the
| questions that O'Reilly was posing were coming up 10 years ago, and that the
| GPL v2 gave people like O'Reilly enough time, 10 years, to go off and make
| their millions and enjoy the fruits of free software's labors. And, Moglen
| added, the FSF, by releasing the GPL v3, just gave software vendors another
| 10 years to grow up and figure out what was really important and get freedom
| back into the conversation.

GPL v3 Not a Concern For Google
,----[ Quote ]
| Google's DiBona noted that the incompatibility of Apache 2.0 and
| GPL has never presented a problem to Google. "We typically choose
| the Apache license as we like our code to be broadly adopted both
| within the commercial realm and by our friends in open source,"
| DiBona said. "We have released software under the GPL before when
| it made sense to do so, and we will continue this practice when
| v3 comes out."
