Perhaps, but until we spend some serious brainstorming time looking for better
solutions, I am not willing to accept that dual licensing is the right way.
Does the FSF take the "needs" of non-code Freedom into account when drafting
the GPL? Until they do, I think the GPL should be treated warily with respect
to Freedom of art.
Is there a reason I am getting no real discussion on the thought of drafting
copyleft licenses so that parts from various works under various licenses can
intermingle while remaining distinct? Trying for analogies here:
Like raisins and almonds in a bowl of gelatin?
all the best,
