That was the point I was trying to make, but maybe my sarcasm got in the way.

I don't see why someone can't be a _serious_ GPL advocate and a pirater at the same time..

After all, they believe all digital content should be freely accessible, so to them, it's morally the same.

To me, it looks like you (VON-MAN), anonymous, and a few others are engaging in an trollfest against TinyLittleMend.

Between all the ad hominems and non sequitars in this article's comments, I'm shocked at the lack of logical thinking the FSF proponents are using!

Non sequitar much?

Why don't you pop a Xanax and calm the fuck down?

Hidden and compulsory EULAs are how The System works to keep us enslaved, man.

Just check out these two documents for all the proof you'll ever need:

George Mercer - Invisible Contracts [lays out (and proves) how stuff like opening a bank account, and/oror getting a drivers license, has you signing interlocking contracts that compels you to pay Federal Income tax]

They Own It All, Including You: By Means of Toxic Currency
How just using Federal Reserve Notes (aka USDs) or Euros is akin to agreeing to very intense EULAs on what you can do with anything you purchase (and how everythign really belongs to the state, anyway, via hypothecation).

I'm sure the argument that you just happened to luck out is not a strong one.

All it takes is ONE hostile fork to TOTALLY ruin your day when the GPL is used. Just check this out:

NO NO NO!!! You're post is full of false information!

ALL OF THOSE projects you mentioned have maintainers who are DEDICATED to their projects being used by proprietary software.

Hell! Did you know taht the GPL fanatics (and creators/maintainers/enforcers) believe that it should be ILLEGAL for someone to send out a proprietary Linux kernel driver?! They are CHOMPING AT THE BIT to sue makers like Nvidia and AMD JUST FOR RELEASING drivers for that operating!!

Did you know that the only thing that keeps them at bay is Linus Torvalds, who adamantly refuses to allow this sort of monkey business and refuses to move the kernel to the GPLv3?!?

No. I'm **sure** Torvalds is sick of these GPL nutters and wonders, why oh why, didn't he use the usertools from the BSD folks in the first place?

That is the intent.

Most of the fanatical GPL proponents (and isn't that nearly all who's left in 2012??) are anarcho-communists who literally believe people should code for free, just for the love of it, and think zero protection against hostile forks is a good thing.

Hell, just look at how LibreOffice destroyed OpenOffice or aMule destroyed xMule...

Someone did a story of what happened to apps whenever a GPL equivalent came out, and it was NOT good! In almost every case, the GPL projects would drive out all other open- and proprietary sourced projects, usually to extinction.

GPL is a good *PREDATORY* license. It says, basically, we can use whatever code you want to give us (that's in your liberally licensed project) but if you use any of our's, YOUR code will HAVE to be GPLed, as well, and have ZERO commercial value. WAHAHAHA.

That's why evil corporations love it.
