Others do not do that. Whenever you claim a copyright monopoly, and enforce that monopoly, you're abridging others freedom. It might currently be legal to do so, but "legal" and "right" are different things. So your beef is not _really_ with the GPL - it derives all its power from copyright law. The GPL is really only valid while copyright law is: If copyright law is reduced in power and reach, the GPL is too. So if you don't like the GPL, push for weakened copyright law. Heh. Supporters of copyright monopoly law *really* don't like this double-bind of the GPL, of course, but that's by design. Of course, the FSF are a bunch of moderates, these days you can support your local Pirate Party, more information at http://www.pp-international.net/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
