Can someone help me understand?
If #OpenSource is "free labor for corporations", how exactly is it not *also* "free labor for individuals" or small groups of citizens?
@downey Throw in a GPL license and it's free labor for everyone. Everyone benefits by using the GPL.
@nifker @downey However, in the software world, where once info is modified, it can be relicensed at will. This means that if a peice of software requires spurce code distribution but allows relicensing, a big company can come along, duplicate the work, extend it with features and antifeatures and publish it without the source code and a new license. This is far from ideal and harms people.

@Lofenyy @downey At that point I will simply not use their relicensed software.
