Okay, here are a couple of questions I haven't seen answered. There are 
several "license" schemes put forth for Open Source software. GPL and 
BSD are two that come to mind immediately. The purpose of "open source" 
is to counter the traditional closed source model of software.
 o Which OSS license scheme does the best job of promoting "cooperation" 
and reuse of the software? why?
 o Programmers live in the real world. They have to do mundane things 
like pay rent/mortgages, pay bills (heat, gas, internet connection, 
etc). Which OSS license scheme does the best job of supporting the 
programmer ? (if the programmer has to spend 1/2 their time fund-raising 
to support their programming, then is it worthwhile?) Why?
