The 'Copyleft is GOOD for Business" pitch is hardly new - but usually it
doesn't come loudly from the "Free Software" side of the aisle...
Summarizing broadly, and yes, ignoring a lot of the nuances, there are two
'camps' of copy left enthusiasts, with a lot of folks having various ratios of
body parts in one camp or the other, or both...
The 'Free Software' camp mostly all talks about how copyleft is good for
freedom, and says parenthetically that while it's good for business, that is
just a side effect and not important....
The 'Open Source' camp mostly all talks about how copyleft is good for
business, and says parenthetically that while it's good for freedom, that is
just a side effect and not important....
IMNSHO both camps are right about what copyleft is good for, but don't put
enough importance on the 'side effects'... ;-}
