On licenses

Jul 16, 2004 23:52

I haven't really been thinking about OSS licenses any more lately, but my thoughts seem to have gelled recently, as much as I think they ever will.

I think wasted energy is wrong, probably in a moral sense. If anyone puts an effort toward doing something that could have been accomplished more easily, something is wrong with the world. ( Caveats. )

Nope, not dead. Very busy at times though. I'll be back August 14th. I'm not sure when I'm going back to College Station to get my car, but we need to have a party soon after I get back.

See, that's the fun thing about moral arguments. You can have sound reasoning behind the moral superiority of one action (as you have above with using BSD licenses), and then be able to say "yea, but I don't like that", and then go with another action.

On a totally different note, have you ever heard of the Viridian Design Movement? They are more enviornmentally focused (and a little bit funky), but as someone who believes in the moral wrong of wasted energy, you might like them.
