greedy licensing comes home to roost

quote from http://www.gnome.org/~michael/blog/2009-12-14.html

Boggled at Monty.

• Yes - of course it is a lamers business model to have a restrictive license, coupled with copyright assignment, and dominance by a single company. Yes, of course it leads to strangulation of the community, and perpetuated dominance of a single player.
• That this realisation appears to only have occured to Monty now he is trying to make a company fly on the other side of the very wall he himself built, smells pretty suspicious to me
