This is similar to the new MySQL licensing model which I've already
|
|
publicly stated I'm not opposed to.
|
|
|
|
But, I think there is a world of difference between me thinking the
|
|
MySQL guys are good guys for finding what I consider to be a pretty
|
|
good compromise between existing commercial software marketing and
|
|
serving the free software community, and an organisation like the LDP.
|
|
The LDP is not a commercial organisation and I don't believe it should
|
|
compromise its integrity for limited benefit.
|
|
|
|
Let the documents join the LDP *after* the publishing company/whoever
|
|
has made them free. That I'd be overjoyed with.
|
|
|
|
Have the LDP accept them before then on the basis that one day they
|
|
will be free? I think that's a sellout of principle.

You're suggesting that the existing individual licenses don't state
|
|
their terms clearly enough? you propose to fix that, not by ammending
|
|
them, but by adding another organisationally imposed, inconsistent,
|
|
layer of licensing terms?

Great, David is someone who I have some confidence in from a licensing
|
|
perspective.

Oh please. "In your opinion".
