It involves a lesbian who was denied medical treatment at a fertility clinic because of her sexual orientation. The doctors argued that both the federal and the state Constitutional guarantees of the free exercise of religion and free speech should override the California anti-discrimination law. The California Supreme Court agreed with the plaintiff. Their decision was unanimous, unlike their recent decision legalizing same-sex marriage. [...] [...] I discussed this case back in May.

Clear and right on the point. I would only add that there are limits to what copyright holders should specify in their licenses. For example, a company that created a database of labor relations materials specified in their license that members of labor unions could not access the database. In accordance with democratic ideals, valid contractual limits on the use of copyrighted material should be limited to those rights which the copyright holder possesses, namely, the right to copy, distribute, modify, or perform the work. Open sources licenses fall well within this limitation. They say, in essence, that you may only copy or modify this work if you extend the same privileges to the recipients of your copies or modifications. B.
