Open Source is beginning to lose all of its value as a term...
...as in a river delivering "open source" water.
Let's get back to dealing with "Free Software" and the clear GPL license.

@Algot How ya figure, open-source seems to be a rather useful and meaningful term.
Personally as an open-source contributor I refuse to contribute to GPL due to its vital nature. As a license it simply doesnt work or play well with others.
Generally MIT like licenses like BSD and Apache are the way to go. They can thankfully play nice with each other, and unlike GPL free means free (As in freedom).
Goals differ among friends.
@Algot Not sure of the relevance of that reply.
Generally my stance is one which encourages different "goals". Since MIT/Apache/BSD licenses can be freely used, even inside GPL projects, it ensures that various "goals" can be rectified. The same isnt true of GPL which sadly doesnt cater do differing goals.
@freemo
I see "open source" as a gift...
...someone writes effective, useful code and puts it out for anyone...any person...any corporation...to use it and to appropriate it and to add to it and to keep it for themselves and ...
...our opinions will probably continue to diverge from there.
