copyleft II 
anti-copyright - 06.07.2007 14:27

since copyleft is a reformist concept, brought up to explore new ways of social control(perhaps not consciously - but this might be the way that technology needed to explore to find its way out of a crisis).

"As Stallman deemed it impractical in the short term to eliminate current copyright law and the wrongs he perceived it perpetuating,

he decided to work within the framework of existing law;

he created his own copyright license,

the Emacs General Public License [3], the first copyleft license. This later evolved into the GNU General Public License (GPL), which is now one of the most popular Free Software licenses. For the first time a copyright holder had taken steps to ensure that the maximal number of rights be perpetually transferred to a program's users, no matter what subsequent revisions anyone made to the original program. This original GPL did not grant rights to the public at large, only those who had already received the program; but it was the best that could be done under existing law. The new license was not at this time given the copyleft label."
