I'm seeing a lot of calls for re-examination of FOSS values. In a sense I agree largely: I've myself been arguing for critical re-examination and re-articulation of FOSS principles. However, I see a lot of people calling for things that have been shown to be broken (the non-composability of CC *-NC and *-ND licenses are an example). That's making me fairly nervous that we're going to undo a lot of the structures that have allowed for collaboration and enter an era of confusion.

@cwebber As someone who refuses to work on viral licenses like GPL and the related CC licenses I agree. I'm all for fixing the viral nature but am worried people will make it worse. I'm happy to just use apache or MIT until someone solves it.
