The GPL has never been found by a court to be enforceable. Even if it were, however, it's still unethical to license one's code via the GPL. The purpose of the GPL is to destroy markets and programmers' livelihoods, and to participate in that process is, IMHO, a very destructive thing to do. It is thus important that programmers be informed of what the GPL does and recommend AGAINST its use. --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
