"If you distribute modified code, or offer it as a networked service, you must make the source available under the same terms. This is not a restriction on sharing. It is a condition placed on sharing: if you share, you must share in kind." -- This is, on any plain reading, a restriction on sharing. "You can share only under these conditions" is plainly more restrictive than "sure do whatever you want". You can argue that it's a restriction that ultimately leads to more sharing overall. But it is a restriction on sharing in any given case of sharing nevertheless.

It's just considering "sharing" or "freedom" out an extra step. "Total freedom" results in freedom for those who can protect it and no freedom for those who can't.

Yeah, he lost me there. It's like saying "if you share this you must give me a million dollars -- that's not a restriction, it's a condition!"

[zakki]

I guess because our freedom is not unlimited.
