Thanks for that link. I might not agree with all views presented, but the question about re-licensing as framed there was new to me. I'm very much pro GPL/FSF -- but when leveraging copyright to achive copyleft, it is important to understand the inner workings of copyright, and as this thread highlights the nitty-gritty of "derived work" and the difference between a liberal license to (re)distribute, versus the right to assert copyright, and thereby re-license.
