Public service announcement: please don't say "viral" license, say "reciprocal" or simply "copyleft".

I think one great innovation of the Creative Commons work has been the terminology of "share-alike license".

IRC beats Twitter for license discussions.

PSA: it's a damn shame copyleft licenses aren't viral.

@Mike Linksvayer Well, I guess that's one way of looking at it.

But still, desirable effect in how you mean it, vs weasel word connotations, I think it's still not a good word to use. And by your statement, I guess it isn't even true, if desirable. ;)
