(note to self, don't read RMS's diary again) Has anyone ever asked why it is okay for RMS to suggest it is okay to invalidate another person/company license (BitKeeper is the example) yet become offended when their own license is to desired to be invalidated? Why is it that nothing but gpl can exist with gpl? Why is that a superior option to license under which follows the original spirit of GPL but goes further to promote the ideas of open source is frowned upon? Maybe it has something to do with self pollenation.
