Editing Required reintegration

'''Required reintegration''' of any [[improvement]] is a feature of [[free software]] (where it applies to [[copyright]] only) and [[Consortium licensed]] deliverables (where it also often applies to [[patent]] and even [[trademark]]).  

It is thought to help control the [[bad copy problem]] in general and the [[self-interested fork problem]] in particular.  [[Open source]] advocates tend to think otherwise, but they tend not to see those problems at all.  Open source licenses do not require reintegration at all, while [[shared source]] often requires ceding all rights to the original vendor on very limited terms.  Evidently, shared source advocates like Microsoft think these problems are very real.

[[Consumerium License]] will almost certainly have to have this clause.  There may be variant conditions under which reintegration is required, which might be [[factionally defined]].  This is possible only with a [[parametric license]].
