Copy Left
I don't have a dog in this fight but I am concerned that we are missing the point about Open Source Software. One of the key tenets of Open Source Software is the idea of "copyleft". As I understand it this principle says that you can use the Open Source Software in your original work but you must recontribute any changes back to the Open Source community. It is my understanding that Google declined to accept an Open Source licence for this but rather took the code and used it in their products which was proprietary and sold.
Copyleft is worth fighting for
Biting the hand that feeds IT
