This entire thread was kicked off by someone grossly mischaracterizing the situation, right? Look: >>> I suppose that the removal of this freedom is accidental, because it was a nice thing. >> Not necessarily. Some people prefer the MIT/BSD/ISC family of licenses over GPL. > Most of us have employers who are afraid of copyleft. That has made us afraid of copyleft, because we feel like our job is threatened by copyleft. There's no anti-copyleft FUD here. All that's here is someone assuming someone else isn't a fan of copyleft because of "fear."
