This strikes me as oversimplistic. What if a commercial enterprise
wanted to license its IPR in such a way that it put no constraints on
open source, but retained constraints on commercial competitors? I'm
not sure you can get around a technical mandate for some kind of
license and still retain those options. -- Nathaniel

That's not hard. We need licensing conditions that don't require us
to either pay royalties or sign legal papers, and which don't inhibit
re-use of the code by restricting the area of application.
