[Nettime-bold] Re: <nettime> question: GPL or OPL?

GPL is a license that is designed for writing free software.
I guess it could be used for written documents as well.
However FSF has another license that covers written documents - FDL. 
I think that it can be applied to everything except fiction writings.

I don't know what OPL is.

When something is "copyleft" that means that it is uncopyrighted. But
you should point out under which terms it is uncopyrighted, since there
are several copyleft licenses available.
