Hmm, I guess you won't like what I just posted. Sorry, my modem based connection sends email before it downloads what's new.
Holy crap! I nearly fell off my chair :)
If you want it short, you won't get past me saying "GPL is bad" and everyone else probably saying "GPL is good". That gets no one anywhere except knowing what we've already established.
