在 OSNews 上看到 Eric Raymond 對於 GNU Public License 與 BSD license 的看法:Eric Raymond talks about GPL and BSD licenses。
原文在 Eric Raymond talks about GPL and BSD licenses 這篇文章裡,這段說明了他的理念:
Basically, we don’t need GPL. It’s based on the belief that open source software is weak and needs to be protected. With it, we continue injuring ourselves, cutting ourselves from the economic benefits of BSD license.
簡單來說,他認為在 Open Source Community 裡,BSD license 比 GNU Public License 好。
