I'm just going off of what I hear vocal "FOSS" advocates screaming at me on online forums. They tell anyone and everyone, loudly, that licenses are terrible, but at least some are decent, and that if I can't do what I want, it's not free software, even if it's open source.

Turns out opensource.org disagrees with them. But it doesn't seem like FSF (or rather, RMS, and the FSF by proxy) agrees[1].

In the end, I don't really have a horse in this race. I just write code. I don't care how my company's legal department chooses to protect it.

Frankly, I find it kind of tiresome that there's such a big argument over this stuff.
