Re: Is it reasonable ...?
Agreed. Also, anyone with any understanding of the law knows that "people who create content" do not in general "have ownership of that content". Many of them are employees, so the copyright (not the "content" - stupid word) belongs to their employer. Also, the GPL is not the "cornerstone of free software"; it's just one of many licences. Also, what is "depends on strong property rights" trying to imply? Does "strong" mean "lasting at least 7000 years", perhaps, and having government-funded gangs that kidnap people internationally when corporations claim their copyright has been violated? I can't help being suspicious ... What are "weak" property rights and why would they not be good enough for the GPL?
