Both BSD and GPL allow code to be completely 'open', yet have drastically different effects on the behaviour of developers.
We still need to decide *exactly* which license we are discussing, before claiming that certain things would or would not happen.
It might also be interesting to have a related discussion on partially open Java, ie. the merit of having a Libre implementation of the Java Platform (VM and JFC APIs) while still leaving the Java Language specification under Sun's stewardship. |
