I suppose there are some who put their software out under GPL free of charge
from some sort of contempt for the free enterprise system. Unfortunately, if
that is their objective, they are merely subsidizing the Filthy Capitalist
Running-Dog Oppressors of the Poor Working Masses that they hold in
contempt. I, for one, have no such contempt for honest enterprise and legal
profit. :-)

If you have a link to this paper, it might be a good thing to post it. I
rather enjoyed the article myself & I think it made me a big supporter of
the ADCL concept.
