Personal opinions aside, Patrick, you should know that Chris is not only the project maintainer but a Red Hat employee. Red Hat takes their software very seriously and as well as their support of the GPL. While you may not believe that Red Hat would issue a cease and desist order based on input from Chris, that doesn't mean that it won't happen if it needs to. But I think we all understand your position on the GPL. Now that you've had a chance to express it, I hope we can end this thread. If there are still parties that are interested in discussing it further, I'd like to suggest that it be taken off-line.
