@bkuhn there are those of us who are *strongly* copyleft but also disagree with some of the punitive measures in specific GPL enforcements
about 4 months ago from web-
@aseigo I think the question was do you think that it should be enforced at all. He agrees there are differences in how it's approached.
-
yes, that's the dichotomy he posed. i think it's a false one. "The real disagreement here [..] is whether or not people like copyleft"
-
i am strongly copyleft, i favor enforcement, i think some have overreached in the recent past. it isn't "for OR against copyleft"
-
@aseigo Ah not how I read it. I saw the discussion about how to enforce copyleft puts us on the same side. Disagreement is GPL vs NonGPL
-
@aseigo Very similar to your call for people who have heated discussions on FOSS projects to realize they are on the same side.
-
@aseigo, again, please tell me the specific action against a specific #GPL violator that I or #Conservancy or #FSF took that you oppose.
-
i'm happy to discuss it privately with you, but can not do so publicly, for reasons i assume you can understand.
-
regardless: you are polarizing the debate, which intros a schism between hardline and moderate, which is UTTERLY unhelpful.
-
i understand the frustration (first hand :) which can lead to with-or-against phrasing. diplomacy, not lawyering, will keep unity.
-
and yes, i'm assuming you value a unified, long-term copyleft effort over getting your short term goals met at all cost.
-
@asiego by contrast,most of my blog post was to point out Harald & I basically agree on enforcement strategy. I think you're reading into it
-
@aseigo, actually, others suggested there was a hardline/moderate schism. Harald & I just showed in our posts we're closer than it looks.
