Therefore some time ago an gruby kardigan damski "Open Source" movement spurted from unknown sources to add non-GPL licenses which would neutralize exactly the hated "viral" nature of GPL. Many do not recognize to this day that the idea behind that was to kill GPL, not to expand the falsely named "Open Source" movement.5. Now Ubuntu szar, this very Mark Shattleworth, if I got the story correctly, blessed Mono for bundling with their Linux distro, and for the sake of truly unnecessary "personal productivity" i.e. trifle applications. And the lemmings squeak indignantly when RMS warns of the possible trojaning of Linux with MS technologies.
lines of "i usually prefer x but these are the circumstances under which i'll use y"; it's not a zero-sum game, each of these three licence categories are producing tremendous results and together they are greater than the sum of their partsAn earlier commenter made the point that 90% of WordPress' customers don't car czerwony sweter damski e what the license is. I'd say that's accurate for 90% of the people using any open source project. They don't care as long as free remains "free, as in cost." They aren't looking at the code, they don't know what GPL is, much less what it entails. But the 10% lef sweter damski długi t does.
I still claim the companies are operating with enlightened self-interest, not on any principled interest for Linux or the license. There is a commercial opportunity in either using, supporting, selling support, software and services on Linux or all of the above. So they support it and help move it forward. I maintain Linux got there because Linus pounded it forward guiding the masses and getting a lot of hardware working with it via a solid driver model and getting lots of drivers written for it.I don't live in binary. If Apple gave plenty back to FreeBSD, shouldn't FreeBSD be in a bette szary kardigan r position than when Apple took code from it.
Does Brazil allow a proprietary license of the software as well for companies to use in commercial products? I think such a dual-license would be a great basis for innovation and a flurry of new startups. Everyone starts with a good platform of software and can build whole new industries upon it! And if the core is still GPL, and evolving, more and more companies can enter as time progresses, but the existing companies could have some "secret sauce" that would differentiate them and give some people some good work and jobs!Actually, I think popularity is a reasonable metric to use.
You also may wish to not indulge in zero-sum. It is easily and entirely possible for a community to be alive, thriving, and healthy without being the biggest or being in lockstep with your political views. BSD has, outside of Mac OS X never been a particularly user-oriented OS. So, it doesn't directly compete with windows, nor is it considered "sexy" by most. So it is in some ways a smaller community, in other was a larger community.A quick example: Early on in OS X's history, up to 10.1, Apple didn't use CUPS. Instead, they tried to implement their ow kolorowy sweter n print architecture, "Tioga.
as the two things are very much the same concept.@Otto – the debate over licenses is difficult enough when you base it no the logical premise that people who are granting their work under a specific license are doing so with full knowledge of what that means. I think it's a useful, separate conversation, whether people are liable to grant an inappropriate license for their work because of ignorance or through coercion, but it's not really pertinent to the discussion here.But those who chose a "viral" licens e like the GPL have their own reasons for doing so. |
