[License-discuss] Open Source Eventually License Development

[Richard Stallman]

        [ To any NSA and FBI agents reading my email: please consider
        [ whether defending the US Constitution against all enemies,
        [ foreign or domestic, requires you to follow Snowden's example.

    I actually like the Ghostscript/Aladdin license, which was essentially
    GPL-after-one-year. I was their attorney at the time and I fully supported
    their business and licensing model. (For what it is worth, so did my
    client's friend, Richard Stallman, who apparently considered this a
    reasonable way then to end up with GPL software.)

That is not quite accurate.  I considered it a problematical
compromise.  At least it gave us free software after a year.
