What exactly do people want from us? Mostly they want to know how they can sell free software.

Novell, SCO, confidentiality clauses, turns out no one's seen this exact contract.

Workload? the answer is triage, first we chuck all the people writing proprietary software, then we point a lot of people to the FAQ.

How often is the FAQ updated?

What about an RSS for licensing?

Why is the AGPL a standalone license instead of part of GPLv3? (Bkuhn laughs!!!) The answer is because we would have alienated many potential users of GPLv3, but maybe this will change with GPLv4?? Some people think the Affero limits developers from making private modifications.

The whole process for GPLv3 is still up -- even though it is a bit unwieldly you can read all the drafts.

Opposition to the AGPL? Google code. Also to avoid code producers from forking.

Email licensing@fsf.org if you have more questions or ideas about licensing?
