[License-discuss] [License-review] Coherent Open Source - Getting underway next Friday

[Gil Yehuda]

Thorsten,
Forgive me, I meant not to describe the individual motivators of everyone
in software as being only one of three. Rather to summarize the FSF's
movement philosophy, as they describe it. As well as capture the essential
value proposition that cause the open source movement to branch from it.

However, your need to assert that as an individual, you place yourself in
yet another category that was not properly captured in my high-level
summary is a great signal to Bruce that his plans will face exactly these
headwinds.
