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> Tue, 06 May 2008 12:20:16 PDT http://blog.ianbicking.org/2008/05/06/the-gpl-and-principles//don/ http://ma.gnolia.com/people/deryck/bookmarks/dresicokak open source freedom free software gpl license
