Wolf identified that a good way to enshrine this is through a new sort of software licence that ensures sharing of source code as it is, but gives the authors discretion through copyright who is allowed to distribute derivative works..."

If you have experience with computers of the 1980s and early 1990s, you have probably encountered this term before. We only use the word ''pixel'' to refer to ''physical hardware pixels''. Since we also hold that physical hardware pixels should ''never'' be referred to in software (see OAM), you will almost always see the term '..."
