People who release their source code under the GNU GPL give you permission to use their code in other GPL-covered programs.
And who controls GPL? What will you do when all GPL software and subsequent developments are "kept" on servers out of reach of users (BSD situation...)? What will be in GPLv4?
Why do you Balkanize the open source community without any sound reason?
It appears your hatred for the GPL has blinded you to the reality of the GPL.
Why more rights to the user than to the creator? What is "blinding" about that? +++chefren
