Dear Haavard Skinnemoen,
In message 20090707135141.7979827c@hskinnemoen-d830 you wrote:
While I think fighting for extensible and "hackable" hardware is good, I think a software license is the wrong way to go about it. Let's stick to the proven model of GPLv2: You can use my software if I get to use your improvements. Trying to impose restrictions on this model in order
The point is that GPLv2 results in situations where you cannot use and modify your own software any more because it is "protected" and any versions you build don't run.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
