@fontana, no, not at all. Many GNU projects are primarily copyrighted by others & FSF is part of the "and the rest". :)

@bkuhn I'd appreciate your comments on http://ur1.ca/4k3z1

@allisonrandal,band-aid on a gaping wound. !FaiF licenses are Constitutions of our community. #Harmony seeks to replace them w/new contracts
-
@bkuhn FLOSS licenses are agreements from project->users. They can be used for contributor->project, but that's not their purpose.
-
@allisonrandal When I license a contribution under the GPL, that is _very much_ a contributor->project purpose.

@allisonrandal My April 2011 #Harmony post noting conflict between license and CLA (http://ur1.ca/3y39h) went unanswered.

@allisonrandal, we fundamentally disagree. inbound=outbound (as practiced by !LInux & expressed formally by @fontana) uses license that way.
-
@allisonrandal, as for the "purpose" of !GPL specifically, it was indeed *intended* that *all* corners of a project would be bound by GPL.
-
@fontana How so?
-
@dbs I thought I responded to all your posts to harmony-review. Will check again.
-
@bkuhn I agree that GPL as inbound and outbound is the right answer for some projects. Explicit contributor agreement is right for others.
-
@allisonrandal, I don't completely disagree w/ that point, but problem is that #Harmony, in its drafting & marketing has ignored the former.
-
@dbs, !disturbing that your #Harmony email was ignored. @fontana's analysis may be right. @allisonrandal, why did you ignore @dbs' comment?
-
@fontana, sorry, by "packed" I mean, "overwhelming majority". I realize "packed" incorrectly sounds like there's a crowd when there is not.
-
@fontana, my understanding was that moglenravicher.com represented for-profits & !SFLC only non-profits. Is !Canonical maybe an MR client?
-
@dbs Found it, replied. (Sorry, my inbox is rather flooded and I miss messages sometimes.)
-
@allisonrandal Thanks for the reply; I do appreciate it. It's a bit sad that you're one of the only participants in the discussion.
-
@bkuhn 2 public mailing lists: http://ur1.ca/4l1qp and http://ur1.ca/4l1r2 - latter saw some non- @allisonrandal real discussion in June.
-
@bkuhn third party projects being ones not written by stallman originally? ;P
-
@tekk, that was an odd use of that phrase "3rd party" (@mlinksva will be mad :). I meant, "external projects not originated by FSF or GNU".
-
@bkuhn ah, so projects not initiated by gnu.
-
@bkuhn What does `accepting' mean in this context? The plan was always to use a 3rd party X11 server. (I think... I wasn't born).
-
@dbs I chalk that up to cultural differences in modes of communication. Lawyers are very talkative on the phone, less so in email/identi.ca.
