    Yesterday I had a long-awaited meeting with two lawyers and the CIO from my new employer (who purchased my previous back in April) regarding our releasing of certain software under the GPLv3+. This follows a previous, fairly deep discussion a number of weeks ago with one of the lawyers. Despite their unfamiliarity with software and copyright (we are not a software company), the CIO and lawyers approved our current arrangement. We will continue to release free software under the GPLv3+, and one of the lawyers will work with me on starting to formalize a procedure for doing so with projects going forward.

    I'm relieved, because had this gone in the other direction, it would have been a nail in the coffin for me---this issue is deeply important to me, which I made clear. I structured a lot of my personal time and research around these projects knowing they would be free/libre, and they would not otherwise exist.

    And it's a nice demonstration of the benefits of corporate use of the GPL as copyright holders. In this case, Copyleft made my job pretty easy: competition wouldn't be able to make use of our projects without releasing code, which made the legal department much more comfortable.

    1. How Facebook Figures Out Everyone You've Ever Met
      from Gizmodo
      In real life, in the natural course of conversation, it is not uncommon to talk about a person you may know. You meet someone and say, “I’m from Sarasota,” and they say, “Oh, I have a grandparent in Sarasota,” and they tell you where they live and their name, and you may or may not recognize them.
