Damn that sucks. I think Linux is too "free as in free beer" but hey there is BSD
How would BSD help in this situation? I'm not sure I follow.
Bsd is even less copyleft. Was meant as an even more "liberal" option
While I don't mind BSDs, that would lead to even worse outcomes though in my view. Companies wouldn't even have to release the source code, and they routinely don't.
What we need is more copyleft to ensure companies contribute back to the communities they leach from, not less.
It is because of the tivo workaround to GPLv2. This was fixed in GPL v3.

Agree totally.
