So what? Why should the license under which sotware is
distributed affect anything with respect to proper quality
control ... or are you under the illusion that if I decide
to use the GPL as a license it forces me to distribute
untested stuff? If so, this is a misprehension. The GPL
is a license for limited use of software, certainly more
generous than the corresponding license for limited use
used by Microsoft, but again, so what?
