"We need more of Richard Stallman, not less"

@ploum For the last 30 years, businesses and proponents of Open Source, including Linus Torvalds, have been decrying the GPL because of the essential right of "doing business" aka "privatising the common".

That's it precisely.

And I fear - I may not be right - that people fight for this because they imagine themselves on the side of the winners in this.

But when the commons are privatized, we all lose.

@jens @ploum Nice comment reply and good disclaimer ploum. I was thinking we could chat about this more?.. but then I thought why.. ! (I'll probably think on that more as non-public chat if there is underlying aim for me or us... and suggestions welcome!)
