Many people still misunderstand screen readers — who uses them, how they work, and what inclusive design really means.

@NVAccess Hi, can I suggest an article, or maybe a theme for In Process? I've just seen that you changed NVDA's license from GPL2 to GPL2 or later. I've always been curious to know whether you remain satisfied with a Copyleft license up to this day, or you would choose a more permissive license if you could. I'm not sure whether it was Michael or James who choose GPL at NVDA's beginnings, maybe you could do an interview with one of them about this licensing subject as a whole, in which he could for example speculate about negative or positive effects of choosing a more permissive license.

@clv0 Great question, and one I don't have an answer to. We were thinking that the whole exercise of updating the license might be an interesting case study to share in future (and that question might fit in such an analysis) - although I would add that we haven't started planning such an article or anything just yet - though as and when we do, it would definitely be mentioned in our blog (subscribe at nvaccess.org/newsletter ) and almost certainly here as well.
