Ruben,
You are entitled to your opinion as am I. I will repeat what I have always
said regarding the GPL. It is an oppressive viral license. Just because
you agree with its' style of oppressiveness does not make it
non-oppressive. Your comparison of me stating the obvious oppressiveness
of the GPL to terrorist is not only idiotic it is offensive. The GPL
forces you to publish all changes you make to the code, that is restrictive
plain and simple.
Have a good life.
