That is precisely what I meant.
>But a full-on death for OSS is not going to happen.
That's ludicrous, not what I said, and not what I want. I would carry the torch all by my lonesome if that actually happened.
>The Creative Commons / Free Culture movement is fairly recent and only growing in popularity
I don't care about either/or. I care about software.
>People (and very large corporations alike) are clearly still seeing the value in liberally licensing their works so that lots of people can enjoy them.
Mostly as a means of marketing/promotion in the hopes that people will pay for the stuff that they can't steal outright. Don't kid yourself otherwise.
