Or to produce something that is "aproprietary" - it doesn't care wether
it is owned or not.

The BSD license has not stopped people doing proprietary development
or free development on BSD'd works. What operates there is the economics
of proprietary branching, where it's cheaper to work with the community
than develop alone.

The real question is do we want an open inclusive community or a parallel-to

-proprietary exclusive community.

I'd like to see Motif opened with eventually a BSD license. And CDE too...
