Light Table 0.7.0

In most cases, if I've written some open source code I would rather see someone exploit it for profit than see someone prevented from using it because they can't meet the license terms. I don't claim to speak for anyone else but that is the logic.

Yeah, I totally agree with you on that front. The GPL (especially version 3) really stifles the ability for others to use your code. I license everything BSD so that what I do can help others. Plus the GPL is HUGE and I can't be bothered to read it all. I know, though, that I don't agree with the viral licensing shit that it does and have read those parts.

I support your idea, start a school of philosophy on this? Crowdsourced capitalism?

That sounds like a lot of work, and I'm sure a lot of folks have expressed or at least agree with the sentiment. But I'll consider writing about it in more detail.
