| The simple answer to this simple question is usually, I’ll decide.
|
| * It’s my code and I’ll choose how to license it (but what if it came
| through the GPL).
| * It’s my profile and I should decide who gets a copy (so how do I prove
| I gave permission).
| * It’s my medical history and I can share it (but how do I audit that
| permission)?
|
| You’ll see that questions of code, when applied to data, involve questions of
| identity. I can give permission but how do we prove it was me who gave that
| permission?
