In general I agree, but having a mandatory-sharing license can actually work to the advantage of investigators. They can say to their bosses, "Look, I can modify this code at a cost of $X, and we have to make the modified version available. Or I can develop my own code at a cost of $Y >> $X. You pick." > Regarding your desire for an OSI approved license that meets your > criteria...I pretty sure it doesn't exist. Yes, it would violate the OSD's anti-discrimination rules. -- Take two turkeys, one goose, four John Cowan cabbages, but no duck, and mix them http://www.ccil.org/~cowan together.
