I believe the #copyleft strategy needs an upgrade; the concept of copyleft reaches its 41ˢᵗ anniversary later this month.

Please watch the #copyleft-next project this year as I think (hope?) what we do will change your mind on the above.

We are radically rethinking copyleft license drafting. I believe a new approach *is* viable in the long run.

Follow @next for updates.

#CopyleftNext

I was looking at #CopyleftNext 0.3.1 from 2016, and it has some very nice details that I didn't notice or have forgotten about since last I read some version of the license ... which would be in 2016 or earlier.

A friend asked me about licenses.

In this #EverythingOpen Speaker Spotlight, Bradley M. Kuhn of @conservancy asks if #FOSS licenses have jumped the shark in an era where licensing is politicised? And is #CopyLeftNext the answer?
