Sorry, I had no intention of being rude; I just dislike the misconception that permissive licenses are not Free Software, because it turns people who dislike copyleft against the whole concept.




Hey, fair enough. I get ya, even. I think the copyleft folks have gone to lengths to co-opt the term "Free Software" to mean their thing and I'm fine to let them have it.

I'd like to see folks get more educated about what their license options are and the implications of using them in general.
