Translation: Nothing to worry about here, folks. Just move along, 
that’s it, don’t look over there, look over here, pay no attention to 
that GPLv3, there’s nothing important in there, nothing to worry about, 
it’s all being done out in the open, it’s all very reasonable and 
above-board, with no hidden agendas, no radicals running the show, 
everything’s fine, and whatever else you hear, why that’s just FUD 
spread by the enemies of freedom. Free as in freedom, dude! That’s 
what we’re about. Freedom, remember? Just keep repeating it. Free, 
free, free. See? You feel better already.
