The Linux kernel being the most prominent example, I reckon.
You are right. However a sad example.
Suppose its infected by famous `copyleft' rapist-towards-freedom story.
Coercing freedom is a strange idea, thats a profound mistake.
Can't assume RMS got it by himself.

Sure. If you are happy with the current version of a license and don't
trust that "any later" version might properly represent your own
intentions.
That not logical for me, as the file published with
an older license will not vanish with a newer.
Lets avoid that nightmare of negotiations. Lets accept Emacs as a
present and lets send presents back. Otherwise I see rather a new hell
than freedom coming.
