A Bit of Licence

,----[ Quote ]
| Maybe the wide range of licences available 
| is a response to people's differing 
| responses to the freeloader issue. Those 
| that don't particularly care will be happy 
| to work on projects with more permissive 
| licences; those that do care will stick to 
| those using the GNU GPL to fend off the 
| freeloaders. Such a correlation might also 
| explain why something apparently so dry as 
| licensing provokes such powerful and abiding 
| passions: it's actually tapping into 
| something very deep and personal that helps 
| define how we look at the world, and hence 
| who we are.

That Old GNU Thing: Licensing

,----[ Quote ]
| 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.
