OK, you and Dennis mean that employees should be excluded from GPL. It
might be possible, but it would mean exactly that GPL could not be applied
for trading/exchange between employer and employee. That's a systematic
problem.

To have it really working it should function in all cases including ones
when parties have different weights. So far, both GPL and *software
selling* perform poorly. Software quality fails to keep pace with growing
complexity...
