Gina Likins | University Outreach, Open Source & Standards Team at Red Hat
I have been working in internet strategy for more than 20 years, participating in online communities for nearly 25, and working in open source for more than four.  I'm passionate about finding ways to help our open source communities thrive and be more welcoming for everyone.
In addition to my interests in communication, conflict resolution and open source community dynamics, I also have a long history with and interest in education, having obtained my North Carolina teacher certification and taught both high school biology and environmental science.
My current role on the the University Outreach team at Red Hat exists to help universities incorporate open source into their curriculum.  Find me at @lintqueen on Twitter.

Richard, you're right, it is the copyleft and permissive distinction that I was getting at. I used the terms "permissive" and "copyleft" as well, and in the future will stick with those (clearer) terms and not muddy the water with "free licenses." :-)

Interestingly, I discovered *after* I'd written the article that the t-shirts at OSCON were a subject of much discussion on twitter -- see http://bit.ly/swagsize for the full conversation!
