Talk:Copyfree vs Copyleft

From WikiVS, the open comparison website

In general, in each section I have listed copyfree and copyleft in alphabetical order as a means of objectively ordering them. In cases where reading information about one of them is the logical first step to reading information about the other, though, that should probably be used as the determining factor when deciding which comes first.

[edit] Heritability

Just in case someone decides to pretend to be a grammar nazi again:

• Heritability is indeed a word.
• The term "inheritable characteristics" refers to characteristics that are inheritable, which is grammatically inappropriate for the statement "drawing such epithets as 'viral' for their inheritable characteristics". The term "heritability characteristics", on the other hand, refers to how heritable the whole license is, which has a completely different mean and is appropriate for the statement "drawing such epithets as 'viral' for their heritability characteristics".

So . . . thanks for not editing what you don't understand, in the future. - apotheon 23:14, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] LGPL

I'm considering adding a paragraph to mention LGPL type licenses which kind of ride the line between the two. Thoughts? --ZephyrXero 22:25, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

That might be useful, depending on what you say about it. The LGPL doesn't really have too much in common with copyfree licensing policy, but it does provide at least one of the technical benefits of copyfree licenses (as compared with the GPL). - apotheon 21:49, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
