> So, why should the Open Source community be so damned forgiving Because the point of free software isn't to shake down anyone. Because we're better than that. We want to make sure software stays free, and punishing people doesn't often help. Almost all copyleft enforcement is done without judges and courts, and that's how it should be. We want more friends, not less. This is not to mean we're pushovers. It just means we enforce free software as gently as possible. Once the software is free, there is no more conflict to resolve.
