You know, I actually recognized that the emotional charge behind the word
“viral” might be why its application to the GPL was being so hard-fought
against, but thought that perhaps the truth behind such a term might shine
through and we could use it to describe what we know about the GPL. I’m
thinking now that maybe we ought to have another word to describe it; one
less predictably antagonistic.How about we start calling it “socialist licensing” instead?
“Pro-choice licensing” might also be a term that people could really get
united around, especially here in the southeastern United States where
I live.
