A quote to support what was noticed here. Sit well on your chair, you = gonna laugh : The context : three advocators defending each one a license during a = public debate. The winner was someone named Matt Asay, advocating for th= e = GPL. Guess was he said to advocate the GPL and win (the reporter even = underline what Asay said could be interpreted as advocating against the = = GPL). The reporter wrote : > Asay made what could be interpreted as a negative comment about > the GPL - that it is a capitalist's dream as one could use it to > benefit users (who could use and modify) and bludgeon competitors > (who could not modify the code unless they were prepared to share > it as well). Here we are, an advocator of the GPL, publicly defending the GPL with th= e = fact this license is a capitalist's dream=E2=80=A6 and he even clearly e= xplained = why it is.
