Of course not.  There are lots of reasons to recommend the GPL, it has surely 
formed a self-sustaining ecosphere of software.  But it's not for everyone.

Who is on the license proliferation committee, BTW?

Can we disinherit them and create a license anti-proliferation committee, 
instead, possibly with some discussion as to criterea for who should be on it?

It has a negative meaning in the technical world, too: I guess you're safe 
using the word around us techies, we won't be confused. :-)

OK.  Then could someone talk about what happens now with a license like the 
Intel license?
