Attacks on GPL suggest it is winning

| For the GPL and the FSF, the increasing

| signal that itâs doing something right. In
| fact, many âsomethingsâ right.

Send the GNU GPL to the Amazonia
,----[ Quote ]
| Amazon's announcement that it is launching
| cloud-based MySQL services comes at a
| convenient time. It shows how money to Free
| Software development can come from
| unexpected sources, without a proprietary
| license appearing anywhere in the picture.
|
| This is not really good news for Free
| Software. However, Amazon gives us the best
| evidence that MySQL can be "monetized" by
| offering it in a Software As a Service
| setting. This can happen with GNU GPL
| licensed software and without receiving any
| special permission from the copyright
| holder, contradicting all claims that there
| is no viable way to fund development of a
| Free Software project without a dual
| license. The impatient reader can jump
| directly to the section where I deal with
| the cloud, but I invite you to follow all
| the argument.

That Old GNU Thing: Licensing

| 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.
