my dear chap, I am talking about open source software - where the code
is up in a public repository - as the key part of my business model is
to get outside developers involved. It is not only the best model to
develop good software at lower costs and sustain the app - it is also an
affirmation of the stand that it is immoral to keep source code closed.
I am no expert on the GPL and it is quite possible that what you say is
true - I have seen any number people/companies using the GPL to develop
software in a closet - and keep it there. Which is why I avoid the GPL
as restrictive of freedom.

Going to Book Library is a "restriction of freedom", I cannot create noise
or speak loudly. Too bad, it prevent me to use my basic right to speak. That
is my I call library is a place for restriction of freedom and I do not go
to Libraries.
