There's no such thing as coercive licensing, and thinking there is is buying into the myths proprietary vendors perpetuate because they're tired of not being able to farm labor from Open Source developers. It's very interesting that the "viral" nonsense came from Microsoft, isn't it?

Maybe so, but we should probably mention that to the lawyers that go after corporations for GPL violations.

If I try to force others to change their behavior, then that’s basically “coercion.” Sort of the definition of the word.

No matter. We are each free to follow our own muse.
