Forking the licensingForking the licensingPosted Nov 23, 2004 18:22 UTC (Tue) by jcollardx01 (guest, #13784)Parent article: The Lawyers are coming
In years past, Microsoft gained control due, in part, to the forking of Unix. Today, they may maintain control because of the forked licensing of OSS. There is no possible united front as long as lawyers can scare many non-OSS away from all OSS due to some obscure license that applies on only a few OSS based packages.

Forking the licensing Posted Nov 24, 2004 8:41 UTC (Wed) by Wol (guest, #4433) [Link] Who cares about "obscure licences". As an end user, the ONLY thing I care about is whether the licence fits the OSD or DFSG. If it does, as an *end* *user*, I can ignore the licence in complete and total safety.
Cheers,
