I have been thinking about this for a long time and contacted the FSF a while ago concerning how the GPL doesn't ensure my freedoms anymore. They directed me to the Affero General Public License and I have decided to license any of my work that I release under it to ensure it remains free.
This is a big problem nowadays though. I'm using Google Apps for Your Domain which most likely uses code that was previously free. Google is one of the companies that makes a lot of money out of free software by making it proprietary in a sense that the GPL doesn't prevent. There's an interesting post on linux.com about this: http://www.linux.com/feature/140934 What do you guys think about the theft of our freedoms that web applications are introducing and on the requirement of a fifth freedom to be introduced to protect free software from nasty corporations who choose to exploit it (e.g. Google). -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/
