Viral license

Revision as of 20:50, 24 November 2003 by 80.186.81.123 (talk) (reversing the meaning. period.)

See GPL and other free software licenses to understand the details of what is meant by a viral license. Usually this term 'does not' imply required reintegration, which is the controversial requirement that open source objects to in both free software and Consortium license software.

Microsoft videly uses the term viral to portray both free software and consortia as being like computer virus creators, it is almost always better not use this term.
