It doesn't surprise me you can't see how continuing to use and benefit from GPL software at the same time as slamming its license makes you a hypocrite. It explains a lot of the views you've expressed in this thread. You should be thankful that the GPL offers so much freedom that it doesn't try to exclude people like you. Most of the GPL bashers i've talked to are hypocritical enough to use GPL software on a daily basis. They're usually blind to the fact that they are enjoying the freedom offered by the GPL that they often argue doesn't exist or is somehow so limited that it makes GPL software unfair. If nothing else it's good to see you inadvertently admit that GPL software is good enough for you to use even in spite of the supposed problems of its license. Anyway, this thread has gone on waaay too long... Sean
