@cwebber What about making a CC-BY-SA-SS (where SS means "Share Source")?
-
@csolisr why? or rather why not use the GPL?

@csolisr but how would CC-BY-SA-SS differ from e.g. GNU GPL?
-
I missed the #disturbing hashtag on that one.
-
@csolisr yeah, and I'm hopeful that will be fixed in by-sa 4.0
-
@lxoliva could just be good public relations as GPL scares companies and creative commons doesn't.
-
@douglasawh two possible outcomes: a weaker copyleft license, or companies getting “scared” of CC too ;-)

-
@adfeno The GPL contemplates that case - offering the source on demand to anyone interested is enough to satisfy the requirement.
-
@lxoliva yes, but if people have preconceived notions of CC, they may be less willing to listen to FUD. I'm not advocat…

@cwebber Deeply hoping that's a joke.
-
@cwebber Oh, I see. But By-SA is mostly needed because "source" can be hard to define outside of software. Would be chilling, I think.
-
@adfeno archive.org ... but note licensor isn't obligated by terms of license offered.

@mlinksva If licensee doesn’t get the source, they are unable to fulfill the requirements for redistribution, though. That’s not very nice.
