Well, I am not completely confused, but you are not able to see the point 
apparently.  First, I am not advocating any version of a licenses.  Second, 
I am saying that the GPL has no utility because it is trying to protect 
against something that is not important.  In doing that, it stifles what 
little benefit is really provided to software developers via open source.
