@mlinksva But you'd expect BD to have an incentive to show increase in copyleft.

@fontana I trust them to optimize their good/bad news mix to loosen customer $.

@fontana tangentially "Here's the deal on Openness" http://www.blackducksoftware.com/rookies/ ... #ostatus clears minor hype hurdle?

@mlinksva methodology, code and raw data are all available, so it's scientific, unlike Black Duck's FUD

@fontana it depends on how much they're paid to show the opposite, no?

It's just the people who were using GPL as a dual-license FUD weapon now using Apache as a group hug. Pay no attention.

As far as the world of Free software advocacy is concerned, it's an adjustment back to normalcy for GPL usage.

@loliva did I say it wasn't? I was arguing with "that shows the opposite". now that's a non-scientific statement without much qualification!

@mlinksva I hate to say it but it is annoying that they included #OpenShift. However, see e.g. http://ur1.ca/8tqd6
