I have mentioned some time back that I was working on a new strong network copyleft license. The result is the Cryptographic Autonomy License, which I described at CopyleftConf. I wrote up an explainer laying out the legal rationales behind the CAL:
https://www.processmechanics.com/2019/03/15/the-cryptographic-autonomy-license/ Specifically of note are a) the use of patent rights to enforce copyleft, b) the use of the public performance right as the hook, and c) the definition of the "Work" as including interfaces. The CAL is a strongly pro-software-freedom license, and so, I would particularly welcome criticism by anyone coming from that perspective. Thanks, Van PS: The page at my blog is free software-friendly. There is no proprietary Javascript loaded by the page, and I have also included a PDF copy of the license for anyone who would prefer not to use the Google Docs link.
