No, I'd be happy with a Free copyleft. For example, if the OCaml compiler were licensed to me under the GNU GPL, I'd be very happy. Then I'd be able to make the modifications I want, link it with the proprietary crap I have to link it with, and distribute that to the people I'm working with. I could do this in accord with the GPL, because all the people I'm working with have freedom with respect to the proprietary crap. But I can't do this under the QPL, because I might be forced to send the proprietary crap back to INRIA, or to give INRIA a license to license my code in commercial ways. I don't have the right to do either of those things, so I can't use the QPL'd software for what I'm doing. And as I write this, I realize that I've said this to you before in this thread.
