Let's see... _some_ people that Schwartz has spoken to dislike the GPL. That
wouldn't by chance have been Gates and Ballmer, would it?
I can't take proprietary software and use it as the foundation for a GPL'ed
project. Why do others feel that they should have the right to take GPL
software and build upon that to create a proprietary tool? That is one of the
things that I like about the GPL. If you build upon someone elses work, you
are obligated to allow the same to happen with your work.
