what’s the label for open source idealists who view IP/copyright as fundamentally incompatible with the mission?
i’m not talking about the MIT or “permissive license” crowd, but the smaller group which explicitly avoids providing a license because doing so would grant legitimacy to the idea that intellectual property is a thing which should be licensed/controlled.
tends to have an overlap in piracy circles and anarchists, probably because copyright is tied to the state/legal code. anyway i see enough of them now where the acronyms like FOSS, FLOSS, etc definitely don’t apply, but i’m not sure what label to use instead.
- Y_Y 4y agoMaybe as a compromise between copyright and copyleft you could call then copycentre?
