I'm pretty sure that the new license does not "maintain the four freedoms".
I don't know if the FSF will approve of this new license, however by the Free Software definition it should be even more damning, first of all because it violates Freedom 0. The corresponding rule in OSI's definition is less strict ;-)
The "spirit of the GPL" has nothing to do with this license. The GPL is just a "copyright license", meaning that it's concerned only with distribution and with derived works, where distribution and "derived works" are defined by the copyright law.
The GPL is in fact very business friendly and that was by design.
- jonathanstrange 8y agoI think you're right and I was wrong. It does violate freedom 0 and probably will not be approved for that reason by FSF.
