Copyleft just means you lose license privileges and revert to unlicensed copyright rules when violating its terms. There's no reason you can't use that principle in a more restrictive way than GPL.
- deathanatos 2y agoThat's not at all what copyleft means. https://www.gnu.org/licenses/copyleft.en.html https://www.gnu.org/licenses/copyleft.en.html
- kevin_thibedeau 2y agoThat's the FSFs spin. Ultimately GPL is a promise not to pursue an entity for copyright violation without the need for a signed contract. That promise is revoked when you disobey the copyleft.
- lucideer 2y ago> That's the FSFs spin This implies your take on copyleft is an adversarial one, in which case implying your definition is canonical is disingenuous.
- lucideer 2y agoWhile I did make the point that "copyleft" is not a protected term & therefore can have many definitions, I've never heard your definition & it's certainly not the widely accepted one.
