Nice explanation of GPL's intent. I just call the intent the commodification of the software business 8) The Coda team has a problem with business making money off their research hence they opted for the GPL licensing scheme. In fact , according to their leader he thinks it is unfair --- well that is all I remember when this issue last came up . What I wonder if it is okay to distribute a kernel module with a given licensing scheme then all of the sudden perhaps inspire by fad to switch the licensing scheme specially when it is well known that kernel modules sometimes are decided to be included in a distribution due to their licensing scheme.
