This is the most recent as of this linking, and he has some thoughtful and insightful comments on the principles that underpin the GPL. A couple posts earlier he talks about the GPL vs. the permissive licenses. He's very fair, avoiding the territory of flame wars, and though I generally prefer the GPL exactly for the principles it conveys, I do understand that there are pros and cons either way, and each license has strengths and weaknesses.</p> <p>Saved By: <a href="http://ma.gnolia.com/people/deryck" title="Visit Deryck Hodge on Ma.gnolia">Deryck Hodge</a> | <a href="http://ma.gnolia.com/people/deryck/bookmarks/dresicokak" title="View The GPL and Principles on Ma.gnolia">View Details</a> | <a href="http://ma.gnolia.com/bookmarks/dresicokak/thanks/feed/confirm">Give Thanks</a></p> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> <a href="http://ma.gnolia.com/people/deryck/tags/open+source" rel="tag" title="Find deryck bookmarks tagged 'open source'">open source</a>, <a href="http://ma.gnolia.com/people/deryck/tags/freedom" rel="tag" title="Find deryck bookmarks tagged 'freedom'">freedom</a>, <a href="http://ma.gnolia.com/people/deryck/tags/free+software" rel="tag" title="Find deryck bookmarks tagged 'free software'">free software</a>, <a href="http://ma.gnolia.com/people/deryck/tags/gpl" rel="tag" title="Find deryck bookmarks tagged 'gpl'">gpl</a>, <a href="http://ma.gnolia.com/people/deryck/tags/license" rel="tag" title="Find deryck bookmarks tagged 'license'">license</a></p> deryck tag:ma.gnolia.com,2005:Ma.gnolia-xodifapup 2007-12-05T07:42:20-08:00 2007-12-05T07:42:20-08:00 <p><a href="http://diveintomark.org/archives/2007/11/19/the-future-of-reading"><img alt="The Future of Reading (A Play in Six Acts)" src="http://ma.gnolia.com/bookmarks/xodifapup/thumbnail" /></a></p> <p>A must read for anyone who thinks our freedoms and technology are not forever entwined. Free software advocates can seem fanatical or religious to the more pragmatic of the open source crowd, but personally, I'm glad someone speaks up for our freedoms in regards to technology.
