Opinion: GPL delivers clarity and freedom to business

,----[ Quote ]
| The Gnu General Public Licence (GPL) has been around in one form or another 
| since the Gnu manifesto published by Richard Stallman in 1985.
| 
| The free software movement founded at that time has not simply created the 
| most successful copyright licence ever, it has acted as a guide to other, 
| similar movements, including open data, open government and open information 
| systems, such as Wikipedia. It is the same principles that Vint Cerf applied 
| in 1983 when he âinventedâ the internet.

| It's plain, though, that open licenses are both thriving and spreading, and
| this report offers a useful snapshot of just far we have come from the
| trailblazing GNU GPL.
