A question we at the FSF received this week is "Why copyleft?" There are many reasons to choose copyleft over a permissive non-copyleft licenses. To read the reasons as well as some concrete examples, go to: https://u.fsf.org/3v3 #copyleft #freesoftware Thanks for the question! -

The people behind #WorldIntellectualPropertyDay are in favor of slapping "all rights reserved" on everything they can. But with #copyleft, all wrongs are reversed! Read and share: https://u.fsf.org/3l9 https://status.fsf.org/attachment/3843047 -

@bob @diodelass All in all, strong auto-upgradable #copyleft is very important. The current license used by #Linux kernel, despite not auto-upgradable, is still good, but must improve. #Fuchsia means, according to Eben Moglen, the loss of opportunity to foster best-practices for providers to respect society across generations. @sflc @conservancy @fsf

@dredmorbius @cwebber @njoseph @aral constraining protocols isn't possible using only #copyright (and every #free / #libre license, #copyleft or not, from @fsf or not, is based on copyright law to some extent). Fortunately, for example, in AGPL-3.0-or-later, it has provisions to allow software #patents to be used by licensee only in that copy and adaptations, thus #ActivityPub can be secured from EEE with a patent?

I've always felt like #copyleft was authoritarian in that it took away "freedoms", but really it only prevents the "freedom" to use intellectual property to commit violence against:
0. Those who run the program as they wish, for any purpose.
1. Those who study how the program works, and change it so it does their computing as they wish.
2. Those who redistribute copies so they can help their neighbor.
3. Those who distribute copies of your modified versions to others.
