It is not at all useless; in fact, it is very important. If the
differences are not pointed out, then the GPL and its malicious
anti-programmer, anti-business agenda wins by default. If someone
preaches that licensing differences are meaningless, then he is
either unintentionally or intentionally pushing Stallman's agenda,
which includes depriving programmers of a decent living wage (see
the "GNU Manifesto".)
