Umm . . . an example of an open source license that does not create a
development and distribution system that relies on copyright is Perl's
Artistic License.  It's interesting to note that Perl's mascot is the
single-humped dromedary camel.  This seems at odds with the Perl
approach to licensing, which is to dual-license under GPL and Artistic
License, probably to provide a BSD-like ecosystem while still leveraging
the mindshare of the GPL for popularity, since the dual-license model
creates sort of a "two-humped" reserve of distribution capability like
the bactrian camel.

There.  Camels.  Bingo?
