[License-discuss] Thoughts on the subject of ethical licenses

[Gil Yehuda]

Josh thank you.
This topic is very important and we're all passionate about it. Written

to come across more balanced than perhaps I did. My essential message is
that as a discussion list we're most effective toward our goals when we
focus on improving *open source* licensing.
