The point (well made) was that these other licenses (as with public domain) allow others to take do not allow us to take back on terms that suit us.On Wed, 2007-11-21 at 14:49 +0000, MJ Ray wrote:Sam Liddicott <sam@liddicott.com> wrote:In fact I had better NOT use GPL3 (or "or later") or folk might promote their additions to my work to be AGPL thus preventing me from benefiting in return from their changes (as I won't adopt AGPL).Indeed. Unless we delete the AGPL-friendly clause, a project might as well use MIT/Expat or BSD or zlib instead of the GPLv3 and save some bytes and developer-time on the licences.Why don't you simply put everything in the Public Domain? Why bothering about copyleft at all?
Presumably why you have been moderately silent on this topic up till now, the status quo suits you.I will probably not use the AGPL in future, but I don't seek excuses not to use the GPLv3,
this *IS* troll talk. I don't care if you care, I don't even recognize your name.and frankly why should I care what you or Sam *claim* will or will not use?
if they did think. If they noticed.There are tons of projects already switching to GPLv3, evidently these people think it's a good license worth using,
I'm vocal because I just noticed.at least they are not so vocal about their opinions but just *act*.
