The Ethical Source Movement

[chris (Chris Croome)]

I posted some thoughts on this approach in general here:

Coop Software License

I’m not on Facebook so can’t comment there, the only license I’m aware of that is in use is the Coopyleft license which is mentioned above. Personally I must admit that I’ve yet to find a use for a license that only allow co-ops (and individuals) to use and distribute code, I think Bruce Perens has a valid critique of this general approach, I use the GPL for the Bash and Ansible code that I write.

I’m yet to be convinced, especially when the corporations are pushing open source licenses that allow code to be privatised, that we shouldn’t be uniting behind CopyLeft / Free Software…
