Wouldn't it be more correct to say that it only creates voluntary moral
obligations?
Imho it's not a moral obligation. If you're a coder and you'll use a
piece of software released under GNU/GPL to build your product, you're
OBLIGED to release the new product under the same license. If you
doesnt do that, your violation can be prosecuted by law. So GNU/GPL
imho is a sort of voluntary "Constitution" that creates the Digital
Commons, affirming that is not possible to privatize the shared work
(no alieniation, in marxist terms)..
