I think that he, like I, is more concerned by the manner in which you do it. The GPL isn't our enemy, any more than Linux is. They do things slightly differently, but they're still basically free software. I don't think we'll get anywhere useful by discussing the relative merits of free software licenses. And yes, Jordan is right. The signal-to-noise ratio is approaching 0. This is probably my last message on the subject.
