For me, it underscores the fact that open-source licensing is a can of

worms from the start - the perception is generally incongruent with the
reality.

I think that might be throwing the baby out with the bath water. That is
like saying all proprietary software vendors are crooks that don't give real
value for what you are purchasing - it isn't black and white.

I am coming to see that there are freedom issues for the consumer with GPL
v3, but as I understand it the same issue isn't there for licenses like BSD
and MIT and Apache.
