#copyleft licenses do have this drawback. Making them outward compatible to counteract opens the weakest of all weakness though. -

I am speaking for what happens if they successfully sue for damages. Lose license to all my works they have not paid me for. ??? -

in context: I have been calling for a stronger copyleft for #BYSA for a good while now. Do not want to see extra protection given away. -

I am not sure this is a good idea though. How could it be abused by an evil actor? -

well, we limit all we can within the law. some laws say you can't. any law says we can't take back all licenses we are not paid for? -

That leap to Freedom is tough for some reason. -

In general, I disagree that such a distinction is not useful. Have not pondered deeply in this context. -

Live with it? The Free Software folks live with a Free that even allows the big corps to make money and it seems to work. -

That may be, but I don't give much value to those definitions of open which include non-Free. -

open does not include that in respect to open software at least. and nc or nd stuff is not in a commons with plain #bysa -

the instance when a work protected by copyright or patent passes out out of that protection does not alter the fact of who made the work. -

and that addresses the point how exactly? -

it is certainly not meaningless. and in the case of copyright on X's work, there may be no market or a large market, and X controls it. -

depending on how law is written, it may or may not, but it does not necessarily have to. right? -

it is a monopoly but just in a very narrow field. say I get the monopoly to sell red thread between 3 & 4 pm on every third friday? -

bogus thinking, attribution can as easily credit maker as owner. knowledge of who made thing does not automatically go away on PD status. -

It is not permissive per se. it is more a copyleft among people. Rather than a copyleft per work, it is a copyleft per person.
