# Copyfree

Copyfree Initiative is yet another nonprofit group trying to create and maintain its own definition and standardization of "free as in freedom". Its website is https://copyfree.org/, the symbol they use is F in a circle. Similarly to e.g. FSF copyfree maintains a list of approved and rejected licenses; the main characteristics of the group are great opposition of copyleft in favor of permissive licenses, which is good, however the group justifies its operation by "helping business", i.e. it's most likely just another unethical capitalist organization that will ultimately stand against people and once/if becomes successful will sell its soul to the highest bidder. Copyfree was founded by Chad Perrin and has existed at least since 2007 (according to internet archive).
