from the can-you-have-copyleft-without-copyright? dept.

The Free Software Foundation (FSF) provides a rebuttal, the supposed decline of copyleft, to assertions from Black Duck regarding the uptake of reciprocal versus non-reciprocal licenses. In the rebuttal, the FSF works to stem a cascade of articles and blogs which have proliferated based on some initial disinformation. While there does seem to be an increase in the use of non-reciprocal licensing in general there are several possible explanations and the rebuttal goes into detail and backs each possibility with data. In short, both styles of licensing are increasing in popularity

    A big component of the trouble has come from people that really should know better.

    You should really not diss our eds like this! I have recently found out they cannot take a joke. Oh, and they are mostly Nazi sympathizers, and Windows users, and so of course are in favor of Copyright. I will rip one hundred DVD's in their honor. Can't say which ones, or on what torrent you can find them, but just be assured, as sure as SoylentNews is not a conduit to illegal and very bad filesharing, I am not shitting you.
