From Fear to Appreciation - The GPL Journey

We often have well-baked ideas about how we would like things to tunr out, which gets combined with beliefs that are being shaped by the environment we're in. Despite of human nature, we need to follow our intuition and revisit whether or not what we had learned in the past has reached the point where we would benefit from re-evaluating it. In this episode of the My Open Source Experience podcast Rick Sanders talks about how his law career has evolved over time, along with his perception of open source and the GNU General Public License (GPL). GPL is a very controversial open source license, which created some fear and confusion that the tech industry and lawyers in this space have had to overcome.
