I think it's simply a company-wide policy made at the recommendation of overly-cautious legal counsel.
On the matter of GPLv3, I think this is going to be an "agree to disagree" type of thing. I actually quite like the changes over v2. But then I'm not a professional developer. I'm just a bookkeeper who dabbles in coding for fun and for a bit of ad-hoc automation on the job. My perspective is certainly quite different from someone who makes a living programming.
- jw14 7y agoGlad this didn't turn into a flame war. I like the idea of sharing everything in theory but I don't yet see how to make a living without putting a price tag on something. Working as a contractor writing closed source software and allowing my clients to mostly own what I create allows me to work around 30 hours a week and spend time doing volunteer work. If there was a path to do that with Free Software I might go for it.
