This is a valuable project, executed well.

A suggested edit: the term "copyleft" at https://writefreesoftware.org/learn/licenses is confusing and is falling into disuse. "Reciprocal licensing" is easier to understand and is growing.

Does Drew Devault have a HN handle we can @?

[ddevault]

Not sure that "copyleft" is confusing or falling into disuse, I hear people talking about it without confusion pretty often. First time I've heard "reciprocal licensing".

[gravypod]

I think "copyleft" is ubiquitous within the tech crowd but the first time I heard the term I was confused. Might be worth asking a few people you know in the real world who are not tech people to see if they knew what either means.

[lucasgonze]

The only people who know the term "copyleft" are already familiar with GNU, the FSF, and the free software movement. That is a tiny pool.

[occamrazor]

“Reciprocal licensing” is not precise. I think ShareAlike is more descriptive (and consistent with CC licenses).

[lucasgonze]

ShareAlike is also effective.

What we know for sure is that Copyleft is never going to work.

[clearleaf]

Never heard "ShareAlike" either, and it sounds like a proprietary file sharing feature for phones or something. I just say open source and everyone has always known what I meant.

[Tomte]

It's a term from the Creative Commons family of licenses.

Does @ on HN actually work though? I didn't think that was a thing here.

[msla]

No.
