writes "Beef Taco is a Firefox extension that allows a mass opt-
out from tracking and targeted advertising by many ad networks.
The Register reports that the original system, TACO, has become
proprietary, and has added new 'features' best described as
bloatware. I guess this should serve as a warning for users to
always prefer software under a copyleft license where possible.
If Google had chosen a license with better protection, such as
the GPL, when it released its own opt-out tool, this problem
would have been much less likely. This also shows why forks are
so important when software development begins to get messy."
