and herein lies the original sin...

the GPL (which is not one license but a set of licenses) has three main flaws:

- the LGPL license, which has allowed GNU/Linux environmental pollution over
time

- the lack of a non-commercial mandatory clause in the GPLs

- the mistake of confusing 4 simple legal rights with freedom (which is
something much broader I think), leading people to remain confined within
technical, legal and - above all - economic aspects

just my humble opinion
