Interesting topic, wish the article included a bit more analysis and explanation to support itself.

Sorry about that, I was more concerned with getting the explanation into more than 140 chars and out to both people and GitHub and getting in touch with GitHub than with writing a lengthy article.

And all this besides $dayjob which suffered on the day, so I’ll probably need to work the weekend to catch up.

Be that as it may, without an extended analysis of the possible multiple interpretations and conflicts with copyleft, it leaves the author looking somewhat shrill.

I am the author. And I am not an academic interested in bringing out a lengthy article with explaining the interpretations and all.

I am, in this instance, pragmatic: explaining what’s bad, why it’s bad, what we need to do right now, and that’s it, and now I’m trying to work on a solution with the GitHub people.

If this is not enough, do your own research. In my referrers, there have popped up some Russian sites that (according to Google Translate) did some of their own research (and came to similar conclusions). Ex-Debian’s joeyh did, too.
