what are you talking about specifically?
who sat down and put in "capitalist labor" and was later looted by someone because of the GPL?
maybe i misunderstand what you are saying, but what i'm seeing now in your post just doesn't make sense.
and how does it destroy financial incentives? it may erode a monetary market for generic software, but money not spent by people on things like the OS that controls their computer will allow people to spend more in other places.
the GPL merely shifts the money elsewhere. also financial gain isn't just about money, there's the utility of the software produced to consider.
this is getting long, so i'll cut it off here.
