>It's about discouraging proprietary software

If you don't want to code proprietary, fine. That's your choice and your choice alone to make. You have NO right telling me what I can and can't not do with my own labor. Restricting worker's rights to what they make and forcing communal labor is the very foundation of communism.

>otherwise you would have to have some criteria to determine whether a license for a derivative work held similar protections, which I think is difficult.

All you have to do is read the fucking license.

>You think proprietary software is bad, and license restrictions against proprietary software will be effective in reducing it
>You want to spite anyone who tries to make your work proprietary, regardless of whether you think it is bad in principle

Both of these are the very definition of "not free".

Using the GPLv3 doesn't make sense. Richard was the puppet that sold it, but the text was mostly written by a bunch of lawyers who will take care of it after Richard dies. And they've made sure that there are holes in the less-free GPLv3, and they will make a lot of money off those who voilate the interpretation they get out of judges, once Richard dies. Ethics? Who cares. Once Richard dies, it will be a feeding frenzy. His hypocrisy just makes it even more of a sure thing.

BSD/MIT/Apache/Academic Free Licenses are free. Copyleft is restrictive garbage.
