I understand (if not agree with) the 'deep philosophy justification' of the FSF for a particular licensing strategy. I understand the views of individuals who don't want to benefit corporations without extracting, at least, some token cooperation in return. I don't understand the analogy in which code is 'land' which can be 'grabbed'. If a corporation takes ALv2 licensed code and uses it to launch some close-source thing, the code isn't used up. It's still there where anyone else can use it for anything else. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscribe@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-help@incubator.apache.org
