| There are issues with using a strict GPL license base for all our work here:
| |
| While APC is an attempt to build a solid [[instructional capital]] base that will be available for all such profits to use, there appears to be no common [[value system]], e.g. no requirement that the nonprofits only be devoted to say [[green purposes]], and no protections against destructive nonprofits. A [[Global Warming promotion society]] or an [[arms industry lobby group]] could also use these same tools to do vast harm. Or, use a modified [[Consumerium]] to compete directly as per [[worst cases]]. So there probably are reasons why this whole project should not all be licensed under GPL like Action Apps is. See [[Consumerium Software License]] for more discussion on this issue.
