More word plays the confuse the dicussion, Eris would be proud of you. Your point is that the BSD license is a "wrong" because it gives people too much freedom. You just stated this again, even more clearly than in your earlier message. > In my point of view, that is a social failure, which the GPL aims to end. So, you are indeed taking the point of view that there is "good freedom" and "bad freedom", and that coercion is needed to allow "good freedom" to prevail. I am glad you said so since it is totally related to what follows. > > Do you seriously believe people have to be coerced into being > > "free"? > > Can you be a serious person and not divert arguments to totally unrelated > stuff? 10x.
