I guess you also don't use bind (cathedral), sendmail (cathedral), qmail
(cathedral). Also, read lkml and see how many patches not accepted into
the kernel only because linus/alan don't know the patch sender.

Read some of the philosophy on www.gnu.org. 
Then try to understand what is written there.

The GPL never was and never was meant to be some kind of a goal to reach
or a flag to wave. The only reason the GPL was written is to promote the
free software cause.

Being pro-GPL is stupid. Being pro Free Software is good. KDE is free
software. Qt-2.* is free software. Debian's position on illegality of
kde is petty lawyerese from the distribution that's supposed to be
farthest away from this stuff.
