"So over the weekend I began to think about the GPL and my general disdain for it. For a license that is touted as 'free', it certainly doesn't feel that way. As a libertarian, I've often found myself baffled by the leftist stance that freedom has to be enforced with overwhelming regulation, and to me, the GPL is one of the best examples of such repression. Its viral nature is neither business nor government friendly, and its proliferation places a great strain on a developer's ability to quickly and freely incorporate quality software into highly complex and disparate systems. . .
