There are Open Source licenses that enable people to build useful things (e.g., PHP, BSD, MIT, Apache 2.0). Then there are Free Software licenses (GPL, LGPL).

Open Source licenses allow people build all sorts of awesome things without having to worry about anything. Free Software licenses are incredibly restrictive, making it nearly impossible to do any kind of good work for the community without worrying about licensing violations and having your work forced to also be GPL whether you want it to be or not.

Is there any way you'd consider an open source license instead or in addition to the GPL?
