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
