> Wasn't the end goal of copyleft that all software becomes GPL 3 a few years ago? Giving users access to software without distributing it to them is a recent technical innovation. The AGPL exists to give those users the same rights as more conventional software users. The underlying goal - ensuring that all users have the four freedoms - remains the same. > Why does 'freedom' in the Gnu sense require coercing all developers to use the same license? The copyleft trick only works that way. The goal is to ensure that all software users have the four freedoms; ideally they would be enshrined into law somehow, but failing that, a license is the best we can do. |
