But I suppose it depends on your point of view: some think anyone associated with the GPL must be "pathetic" or "rabid" or a "zealot", by definition. If you want to use GPL code, be willing to give back. Don't demand to use it as you like, any more than you would demand source code from Borland to use as you would like. It's that simple. In fact it's even simpler: you're only asked to give back your source addition if you're distributing binaries. If you're using it for your own private purposes, you can do what you like (notwithstanding persistent claims to the contrary on this list).
