Does dual licensing threaten free software? (Linux Journal)Does dual licensing threaten free software?

Some percentage of people may not help as a result of having to assign copyrights to their improvements over to the project. That's no different to the way the FSF works... If I ever contributed code, I'd simply say that either I grant them the right to sublicence as they see fit provided the licence ALWAYS remains dual proprietary/GPL, or demand that part of the payment for handing over copyright is a guarantee that the code will always be distributed with the GPL as an option. That way, if they ever want to go "proprietary only", their licence to my stuff goes "pfffft!" Cheers.Wol
