"(..)December 16, 2011, 10:28 AM — A new analysis of licensing data
shows that not only is use of the GPL and other copyleft licenses
continuing to decline, but the rate of disuse is actually
accelerating.

That was the conclusion of Matthew Aslett's analysis of recent data
from Black Duck Software, which shows that while use of the GPL, LGPL,
and AGPL set of copyleft licenses dominates free and open source
projects, that use is still on the decline. (..)"

coz- czyzby jednak gpl nie bylo az tak dobrym rozwiazaniem dla
producentow oprogramowania otwartozrodlowego? a moze ich zle apple &
ms przekupilo ;)?

	... kazdy wybiera to co mu wygodnie, zobaczymy jak taka strategia
bedzie dzialac w dluzszej perspektywie. Wazne jest tez co innego,
swiadomosc userow, jesli jest bardziej liberalna licencja a mimo to
do takiego projektu trafiaja poprawki i laty, bo uzytkownicy rozumieja,
ze cos takiego im sie oplaca, sa uswiadomieni, to wymuszanie na nich tego 
nie jest potrzebne. Z powazaniem
