Seriously? That's your argument: Larry #Rosen should write #GPLv4? Remember always: I asked you to volunteer to help & you sent me to Larry.

Bradley at the Software Freedom Conservancy explains GPL enforcement: http://ur1.ca/7yzx5

Much discussion on !Conservancy's !GPL enforcement w/ lots of misconceptions. Some clarifications: ur1.ca/7yzx5 ur1.ca/7z050 ur1.ca/7z055

This level of transparency and level-headedness is something to be lauded. It's why I donate.

@laforge (who appears to have deleted his identi.ca account) wrote a good !GPL enforcement blog post & I commented: http://ur1.ca/844xi

"users ought demand freedom without © holder assent" @mlinksva hits bingo

@john no time tonight, but I'd like to raise the stakes, or whatever one says in bingo, and claim quote relevant way beyond GPL compliance ☻

@fontana,I was accused of enforcing w/out © holder assent. I've not done that,but I'm forced to defend myself vs !GPL equivalent of birthers

@fontana, copyleft w/out enforcement is equivalent to a permissive license anyway. So I guess I don't see your point there.
-
@bkuhn enforcement narrowly construed, sure. I know you get it, but I feel compelled to observe that putting GPLicensor/© holder at center…
-
@bkuhn …understates ethical concern for 99%+ of non-licensor, supposedly handcuffed users. Perhaps these should #shame ©holders to enforce.

@fontana couldn't GPLv4 grant downstream users power to hire attorney for © enforcement on their upstreams representing © holder?

@fontana and require redistributors to recognize the legitimacy of the representation even if they failed to pass the license on?
-
I don't necessarily believe contractual remedies should be avoided. Brendan Scott doing interesting stuff w/ fraud law & !GPL in Australia.
-
Pay me a dollar for my GPL code. I assign enough rights for you to have standing?
-
@bkuhn anything on the web about this? I tried the obvious searches/sites.

@fontana curious, IDNKA http://ur1.ca/85hrz points to need for a license #deconstruction session at #disturbicon
