@kamikaze I do understand your point, but I don't consider the GPL to be a real problem. Of course, it is less free than the BSD licenses are, and I won't lie about that, but the GPL does a good job at "infecting" software to force it to be opened it. I know, it's far from "friendly", but it's a counter against proprietary software trying to effectively locking us out of their products by forcing them to release their products in such a way that we can enable ourselves to use it as well, even if they try to lock us out. Yes, the GPL infects software, but I personally don't consider it something bad, as I believe the results of it are good.
