I disagree -- regular ol' people generate way more video and audio content than the artists of RIAA+MPAA. If you want to distribute copyrighted content, there are much better solutions to that problem than Mediagoblin. But if you want to put a video of your class lecture somewhere students can see it, it could be a much better option than Youtube. Especially if your classes discuss works of art still protected by copyright. Even though it's your right to discuss it via fair use, who wants the headache of arguing with rightsholders and Google's bots? It's AGPL specifically because it's a GNU project. shrug if you want to write a BSD one, that's your right. IMO they're not extremists. I like the BSD license a lot. But I also think that sometimes some companies exploit software developed under BSD licenses and in those cases coders and users alike lose out. For that reason I think it's very appropriate that the GPL and AGPL exist.
