   @lxoliva I believe that under some circumstances using noncopyleft license is better route to achieve social aims of copyleft.

   @lxoliva Freedom is arguably about more than mere licensing. Assumption otherwise seems typical of those associated with #Cygnus.

   @lxoliva not really. Apache License is actually stealth copyleft here.

   @lxoliva Don't know. Right now it's still all theoretical.

   @lxoliva I suspect target contributor base finds #AGPL repugnant.

   @lxoliva I think it may be true right now. If Red Hat had chosen AGPL, little chance of there being non-RHT contributors.

   @lxoliva only viable choice to stop proprietary forks is #AGPL, but AGPL has suffered from commercial pwnage problem.

   @lxoliva I see email addresses for you on archaic web pages that say lxoliva at #cygnus dot com. Was that post-acquisition?

    @lxoliva the desire is for this code to become the standard. Only other FLOSS PaaS project I know of is #CloudFoundry; uses ALv2 as well

    @lxoliva issue is, can you trust a company to release new software under #GPL given widespread abuse of GPL by proprietary relicensors

    @lxoliva oh I thought you were a #Cygnus employee for some reason

    @cwebber yeah it would have been something more like #AGPL + additional permissions. Pwnage problem though, MediaGoblin not enough.

    @lxoliva Comes down to an issue of trust. You ex- #Cygnus employees don't understand this issue, I have found.

    @lxoliva RHT desires #OpenShift Origin to become basis of standard free sw PaaS implementation. FSF has recommended ALv2 for this purpose.

    @lxoliva WDYM? The Apache License is a !freesoftware license, specifically recommended by !fsf for contexts such as that here

    @cwebber yeah, most likely so. Would be more interesting question if we ever have more gender parity in !freesoftware
