Re: Is there a free license which prohibits commercial derived works?

[Jeffry Smith <smith@missioncriticallinux.com>]

Check DFSG "Fields of Endeavor" clause.  Basically, no, there isn't a DFSG 
compatible license that prohibits commercial derived works, because DFSG 
specifically prevents this.  Remember, commercial does NOT equal 
proprietary.

If you want to prevent proprietary derived works, GPL works great.

Thought for today:  creep v. 

 To advance, grow, or multiply inexorably.  In
   hackish usage this verb has overtones of menace and silliness,
   evoking the creeping horrors of low-budget monster movies.
