My understanding of GPL after a presetantion of a company selling products based on GDL code is that is is also a good for business - if you use GPL you somehow restrict your competitors that use this code in their products without giving their improvements back to public, so using GPL you try to beat your competitors... This is my interpretation of GPL based business for enterprises. On the other hand, I still somehow understand other argument, similar with science -- science achieved by mankind as such... but under control or ruling class/big enterprises vs. free code always open for everybody and code which once was open but any improvements can be not offered to public. Technically none of the licence has relevence, politically this is more serious discussion but still the limit of the discussion is acceptance of f*cking capitalist framework. jirib
