[AktiviX-discuss] brief (read: quick) summary of license debate

[Max Gastone]

I agree with point of view that the GPL is too broad to be translated 
simply 'as-is' into information realms; I think of several cases 
where it would have been completely inappropriate for something I 
created.


Why cant we not simply introduce an ethical clause to the licenses, 
or am I missing something here? It seems to being assumed that we 
have to use a license someone else has created.

If you can constrain something as not been able to be used for 
commerical gain, then you can constrain it to not be used for other 
objects, as long as those definitions are clear.
