@luissoeiro !fsf not interested in revising #GPL at this time, nor do I think they would approve of most of these changes (for GPL).

I use a disc publisher for work which uses #non-free #drivers. Is it legal to #reverse-engineer the driver & distribute it under the #GPL?

Richard Fontana Bradley M. Kuhn

@bkuhn Would be useful to see more published data about typical #GPL violations.

Bradley M. Kuhn icarito

@icarito,if someone documents that this is really happening, I’d of course take it seriously. #GPL Violations need evidence, not speculation

Richard Fontana GNU Affero General Public Licence , Christopher Allan Webber

@cwebber I hypothesize high point of #GPL adoption preceded high point of proprietary relicensing fwiw. Admittedly all speculative.

Bradley M. Kuhn Bradley M. Kuhn

Someone emailed me privately to inform me ∃ people who can enforce #GPL on #Linux. I think he doesn’t realize I’m one of the few who will.☺

Richard Fontana Richard Fontana , zotz

@zotz to clarify, you can use licenses like #GPL or #copyleft-next for music, but arguably suboptimal

Richard Fontana Keith Z-G

@keithzg sure, you can do that. Even tho’ #copyleft-next is #GPL compatible, makes sense to explicitly dual-license

csolisr Creative Commons , Mike Linksvayer

@mlinksva I really hope that !CC 4.0 has one-way compatibility with the #GPL.

@mlinksva I really hope that !CC 4.0 has one-way compatibility with the #GPL.

Richard Fontana lxoliva

@lxoliva if this becomes a problem we can fix in #copyleft-next 0.2.0 or 1.7.0 or whatever. Revision cadence will not be like #GPL.

Richard Fontana lxoliva

@lxoliva only in weak sense; can live with that. Has proprietary relicensing never bothered you under #GPL regime?

Richard Fontana lxoliva

@lxoliva I am actually thinking of not including not-yet-published !GNU #GPL / #AGPL versions. #tytso raises spectre of GPLv4=BSD.

Richard Fontana zotz

@zotz I believe #GPL is intended to treat subset of creative aggregations as “mere aggregation” for GPL copyleft purposes
