I think we're still going to use Kickstarter, but maybe we'll do ours in two places.

matt from the fsf here -- i spoke to the person with him at the hospital, he's fine. they're doing some routine tests now.

You're against the GPL, but you're okay with people writing their own new licenses?

Not really. There's less than 100 licenses out there, and most projects use a subset of around 10 of them.

Generally speaking, GitHub public repos are only for free software projects.

A lot of people just forget to put up a license. I file a polite bug with the project, and they generally fix it within a day or so.

> "Restrictive": anything that is GPL or requires you to pay for or share all sources

Paying for sources, sounds an awful lot like proprietary software. Pay for binaries, sure... sources shouldn't be withheld and should be available for a nominal fee, which in the case of GitHub and others, is $0.

The FSF has a pretty decent list of licenses -- http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#SoftwareLicens...

Even if "restrictive" is misleading?

Copyleft licenses really don't seem to be a problem unless you're trying to make something proprietary?

Unless I'm missing some other restriction...
