The tiny thing which hide the big one (sorry, don't know an English = equivalent for the french =C2=AB l=E2=80=99arbre qui cache la for=C3=AAt= =C2=BB). I meant in = practice and you can't get ride of it with a single quotation. Or else, = = why complain when the doubt about the GPL is increasing and someone oppo= se = other licenses to it? I also keep in mind, to Stallman, the only = legitimate license, is ultimately the GPL, and anything outside the GPL = is = an anomaly. Someone express it somewhere on the web, noticing how people= = talk about XYZ GPL library, saying its the library of choice of any XYZ = = application. Unfortunately, any GPL library is only OK for GPL = applications, so that cannot be the library of choice for any XYZ = application. This common shortcut shows a tendency to forget their is al= so = a world outside of the GPL, something the GPL preach intently forget. Th= e = same about the meaning of =E2=80=9Cfree=E2=80=9D. Note that among all of= the free licenses = this article quote, the GPL is the least compatible with others. You may= = add an XYZ licensed (such as MIT or BSD) component into a GPL applicatio= n, = but not the opposite, as the GPL force everything to be GPL. Is that the= = GPL way to acknowledge other's legitimacy? (as a side note, funny to not= e = GPL is the most closed of the free licenses the article mentions, due to= = its viral effect). -- = =E2=80=9CSyntactic sugar causes cancer of the semi-colons.=E2=80=9D [1] =E2=80=9CStructured Programming supports the law of the excluded muddle.= =E2=80=9D [1] [1]: Epigrams on Programming =E2=80=94 Alan J. =E2=80=94 P.
