The key difference here is that for, say, a piece of music, you can very easily point to someone as the creator of said piece. Or a group of people, or a record label, or whoever owns the rights to it. How do you handle royalties for a FOSS project where dozens, or even hundreds of people have contributed various amounts of code over the years?

- gatonegro 5y agoI understand that, I was just pointing out a practical issue with the royalties model if it were to be applied to an open source project.
