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.

I don’t think this is accurate.

I’d count myself in the “Free” camp, I don’t care about crowds or
crowdsourcing, I’m hacking mostly for myself, (and a bit to make
the world a better place), and I just see the copyleft bits as
added _restrictions_ that are annoying and make things less free.

Please also consider http://copyfree.org/standard by apotheon,
which gets rather close to my personal preferences (even if I
accept other things that are not compliant), as food for thought.

And my signature, of course.

bye,
