I may be being dense here, but I am not seeing the accusation in the first place. I see words like "wondering" and "if"...
Why should we not wonder such things about each other and seek assurances before deciding to go above and beyond our normal levels of helping? (This is really a generic question and not aimed at this particular thread other than this thread kicked off the idea in my head.) I feel certain that we can be sure that at some point, someone will try and get around the agpl for purposes of denying freedom just as they have done so with the gpl. I am thinking of this problem more in terms of musicians and artists who are doing the Free thing and I may want to get behind and push and what sorts of commitments and assurances I would want to see from then before committing large amounts of time and other resources to getting the word out about them only to find that they are just using some Free music as a come on and looking to go non-Free once they get a name. In general, I think these are reasonable thoughts to have. I am open to be persuaded otherwise, just as I try to consider things like this carefully as well: http://www.digitalproductions.co.uk/index.php?s=Natural-IP&c=copyfarleft Now, having the questions is one thing, finding the wisdom to ask them in such a way as to make the situation better may be another and I feel I am still a ways away from that place with the questions on the music side. all the best, drew On Wed, Nov 11, 2009 at 5:50 PM, Rob Myers <[email protected]> wrote: > On 11/11/09 22:36, Matt Lee wrote: >> On 11/11/09 17:31, Fabian A.
