@clacke Not saying you made that up, but peole are going crazy with making up defenitions, and care more about that, than the fact it's free

@clacke And why do you feel the FSF has _the_ defenition that can't be wrong?

@onedot Well, first of all people here are geeks and like to argue, but what is being argued is the details of the terms, not general def.

@onedot The discussion is not whether it only means price, but rather, does it only mean the four freedoms as licensed or does it mean more?

@clacke The FSF focus seems to be on defenitions and their terms, not about software itself at all. Oh well, not my game, why do i bother.

@clacke Right, and IMHO Free Software doens't define these terms, it can be anything, and is not black/white.

@onedot Oh, they produce, this discussion is held using software dependent on their work, just they want to define clearly why they do it.

@lxoliva why not? and if you specified that, post restriction, the license must still be free, even better. but why bother? copyleft it.

@zotz a FSL must enable distribution so that recipient gets 4 freedoms. forcing addition of restriction may eventually prevent that

@lxoliva ah, missed that you wanted to add a new restriction on each derivative. probably tougher. do "stupid" restrictions count?

@lxoliva, I think that one is easy. A requirement to restrict others is not !FaiF in my view. It's undue restriction on freedom 2.

@bkuhn still, the point of the example is to find the line for licenses that requires narrowing of permissions in some cases
