Amusing to see an analogy made to a free/open source software license here. Do software licenses really have such cultural currency?

But since we're there: I imagine a still simple zoning code that would always allow the next level of intensity but not promote speculation might be a bit longer and look more like the GPL software license than today's zoning codes.
