Sure free software has moral agenda, but imagine you work for a big company and you can't use a lot great open source tools at your job because the license is deliberately crafted to scare and challenge the IP lawyers of any software company.
- serf 12y ago>imagine you work for a big company and you can't use a lot great open source tools at your job that's Big Company's fault. As an employee you'd take your complaint to them. The license is not "deliberately crafted to scare and challenge IP lawyers", it's designed to avoid the shitty tactics that some tech companys' have been using the past few years to make their primary profits : mass IP buyups and subsequent lawsuits towards all of the other members of the industry.
