Why Free Software isn't Public Domain
,----[ Quote ]
| Raconteur GuyFawkes starts out discussing DRM and control of written
| works, and suggests that the very idea of such is bogus. But rather
| than arriving at Richard Stallman's idea to turn copyright on its
| head and require that software be kept free, GuyFawkes suggests
| that there would be more and bigger cooperation around Linux if
| Linux went public-domain.

BSD Licensing Versus GPL
,----[ Quote ]
| I just wrapped up a productive dialog with an individual who heads a
| company tasked with video distribution. During the dialogue, I found
| myself questioning the wisdom of GPL in all things. That?s not
| because I don't believe that the GPL is a solid open source license
| mind you, but rather how it can encourage creation while inhibiting
| growth at the same time.
