Can an author include in a license, a promise on his part to always
|
|
keep the license free?
|
|
|
|
I don't believe it is possible for a public license can do this. It
|
|
is possible to transfer exclusive rights with a contract, so it should
|
|
be possible with a contract to ensure that all versions will be free.
|
|
|
|
But in the FSF, when people assign copyrights to us, we always agree
|
|
that they can keep unlimited nonexclusive rights. The idea is that
|
|
if someone is being so kind as to donate a program to the GNU Project,
|
|
we should accept that gift and not follow it with further demands.
