Be that as it may, without an extended analysis of the possible multiple interpretations and conflicts with copyleft, it leaves the author looking somewhat shrill.


I am the author. And I am not an academic interested in bringing out a lengthy article with explaining the interpretations and all.

I am, in this instance, pragmatic: explaining what’s bad, why it’s bad, what we need to do right now, and that’s it, and now I’m trying to work on a solution with the GitHub people.
