Many licenses intended for use with non-software works include the
 
``share-alike'' aspect of copyleft: if adaptations are distributed,
 
to comply with the license they must be offered under the same terms.
 
But some (excluding those discussed above) do not grant users the
 
equivalent of all four software freedoms. Such licenses aren't
 
true copylefts, as they retain a prominent exclusive property
 
right aspect for purposes other than enforcing all four freedoms
 
for everyone. What these licenses create are ``semicommons'' or
 
mixed private property/commons regimes, as opposed to the commons
 
created by all free licenses, and protected by copyleft licenses. One
 
reason non-free public licenses might be common outside software, but
 
rare for software, is that software more obviously requires ongoing
 
maintenance. Without control concentrated through copyright assignment
 
maintenance.\footnote{For a slightly longer version of this argument, see \href{http://freebeer.fscons.org/freebeer-1.2.pdf#chapter.2}{Free Culture in Relation to Software
 
Freedom}.} Without control concentrated through copyright assignment
 
or highly asymmetric contributor license agreements, multi-contributor
 
maintenance quickly creates an ``anticommons'' -- e.g., nobody has
 
adequate rights to use commercially.
 

	
 
These non-free share-alike licenses often aggravate freedom and
