Indeed, but they touted the mythical attractiveness of a permissive license over the bondage of copyleft. And it didn't work that way at all in practice. Again: data, rather than anecdote or surmise? As far as I can tell, the claim that permissive attracts more contributions than copyleft is entirely a myth. - d. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
