[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 6305137, member: 8461"] I'm not confusing them, I'm pointing out that the idea of having to negotiate a license for each and every printed product that any company wants to produce is a model that obviates the license almost entirely. If that's the model used, then it doesn't really matter what the license itself is; you've already created a model that - without getting into the terms of the actual license - causes more restriction than the previous licenses themselves ever have. If that's the case, the license itself barely matters, since comparatively few companies will ever get that far, compared to the previous models. Open is the means that leads to all ends. Leaving aside the subjective nature of "inherently wrong," why create more roadblocks to letting third-parties make whatever they want, all in the name of some ill-defined "community standards" or avoiding a "glut" (which had virtually nothing to do with the quality of the products anyway)? [MENTION=58197]Dausuul[/MENTION] said it best - trying to lawyer away Sturgeon's Law is a fool's errand; it creates drawbacks for benefits that are near-totally illusory. [/QUOTE]
