CPRosaamiseen

CPRosaamiseen is a term that appears in discussions related to certain online communities and discussions, particularly those concerning open-source software development and its associated legal and ethical considerations. The term itself is a portmanteau, combining "CP" which often refers to "copyright" or "copyleft," and "Rosaamiseen," which is a Finnish word roughly translating to "to cause to bloom" or "to flourish."

The combined term "CPRosaamiseen" is used metaphorically to describe the process of encouraging the adoption and spread of open-source licenses, particularly those with strong copyleft provisions like the GNU General Public License (GPL). It suggests a proactive approach to promoting the principles of open collaboration, free software distribution, and the idea that derivative works should also be made available under similar open terms.

Those who use the term often do so with the intent of fostering a more robust and accessible open-source ecosystem. They may advocate for the use of copyleft licenses as a means to prevent proprietary lock-in and to ensure that the benefits of software development are shared broadly. The idea is that by actively promoting and supporting these licensing models, the community can help open-source software "bloom" and become more prevalent.

The concept is rooted in the philosophy of free and open-source software, which emphasizes user freedom and the right to study, modify, and distribute software. "CPRosaamiseen" can be seen as a positive and aspirational term within this context, highlighting the desire for open-source principles to thrive and become the norm.
