Call it virus if you like. I see it as the best way to keep the ball
rolling. Without the GPL we certainly won't have so many nice piece of
software around... Everybody will try to redo whatever seems cool to
make money, and won't have the ressource to make something decent. Look
at GNOME, KDE, Inkscape... sorry I won't list the many thousands of
softwares that make my work possible.

To me it is not a virus it was and is a chance for humanity.
