I'm not sure blanket acceptance of "closed-universe" projects is really a good idea. I'm not sure it serves our users very well, and I'm pretty confident it doesn't serve the Free Software community very well. At the same time, I'm struggling to determine an essential distinction between a single de-facto closed-universe project, and a vast collection of such projects (which all works licensed under the GNU GPL could be said to be). > I don't think "if you reuse this code, you must use this versioning scheme" > is acceptable.
