 <html>@&lt;span class=&quot;vcard&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://rainbowdash.net/user/27390&quot; class=&quot;url&quot; title=&quot;Dominic Fandrey&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;fn nickname&quot;&gt;kamikaze&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 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 &amp;quot;infecting&amp;quot; software to force it to be opened it. I know, it's far from &amp;quot;friendly&amp;quot;, 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.</html>
