I’ve been considering copyfarleft licenses like the Anti-Captialist Licence and the Peer Production Licence for a while now; I like the licenses themselves, my only issue is that since there is no body like the FSF to enforce them, a company large enough is likely just to steal the code or break licence.
Yeah. I really like the idea of the ACL, but I wouldn’t use it for anything serious right now because it hasn’t undergone proper legal review and its enforceability itself is rather questionable. The author said he was going to work on getting that done this year, we’ll see what happens.
To clarify, I also don’t think the problem I’ve mentioned can be fixed with licenses alone and I still support FOSS in general. The fact that there’s organisations like the SFC and FSF is a bonus, of course.
