Interested in the complaints about GitHub being anti-copyleft, I followed a chain of links to a 2001 post where RMS endorses a more permissive license for Ogg Vorbis, the old MP3 competitor: https://lwn.net/2001/0301/a/rms-ov-license.php3 https://lwn.net/2001/0301/a/rms-ov-license.php3 RMS endorsed a more permissive license in Ogg's case because otherwise it risked becoming irrelevant as the patented MP3 format took over. It's interesting that he saw this as a special case rather than the #1 issue that will always crop up with copyleft.
