Anyone know what these "good reasons" are? I recall Stallman himself does the same thing, licensing his prose in a non modifiable format. To me it seems in screaming opposition to the idea of copyleft -- "make all the changes you want, but be sure to distribute them".

- aeldidi 5y agoI hope this isn’t incorrect, but I recall Drew once saying he didn’t want people to make variations of the language by forking the compiler and changing a page or two of the spec, since that would result in slightly incompatible code.
