I didn't say that the issues are unimportant, I said that I didn't want to discuss them in the comments section of my blog (which I don't). I also happen to think that (1) the licensing issues are largely a smokescreen for good 'ole NIH in the Linux community and (2) the law (that is, the case law) in the domain of software licensing is so ill-defined that one can often conclude what one wishes to conclude. Take these two together, and you have a plague of amateur legal opinions, contorted to justify rampant, metastasized NIH -- and I personally want no part of it.
