GPL vs AL2

[Lawrence Rosen <lr...@rosenlaw.com>]

A response to Shane Curcuru's recent talk:

 

"Why I don't use the GPL" by Shane Curcuru, "VP of Brand Management at the
Apache Software Foundation" (the association of which he invoked during his
talk last night, which made me wonder if he was speaking on behalf of the
ASF, which seemed surprising)

For the avoidance of doubt by future readers of this list: this talk was
in no way a reflection of ASF policy, and my talk was explicitly
presented as an individual, and I did not use my ASF title or otherwise
mention any affiliation or connection with my ASF roles in the talk.

Apparently the blog poster somehow thought that the introduction the
event host gave to me meant that I was presenting on behalf of the ASF;
the blog post has since been updated to note their mistake.
