Thanks for this. Very well taken. I agree with you on the need for a new coinage, in the middle, so to speak. Without meaning to overshadow that positivity, I'd offer two tiny quibbles: The OSD is pretty clear ... if you ask easy questions. I tried and failed to find the strongest copyleft license that OSI would approve. The main upshot of that laborious process was that OSI wouldn't likely approve such a license, even if it met the OSD. As for creating confusion with an established "brand", I tried to address this in the post, by analogy to vote splitting. That may have got buried too deep, in the final edit. My point there is basically one I've made here on HN before: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17823328 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17823328
