Re: the FSF's GPLv3 launch conference
Agreed. The APSL1, the RPL and several other licenses are clearly in
violation of the DFSG (and you all know where the OSD comes from). It
just seems though that the so-called 'official' definition of 'open
source' (OSI) is quite well known, but irrelevant.
Although FSF thinks AFL and OSL are free, but very inconvienient (e.g.
the OSL's assent provision).
