You also have a fundamentally wrong understanding about the GPL, it has no intention of "freeing software", it is about those who use the software, the users, that the GPL frees and protects.
Alfred replied to a private email from me continuing the offtopic elements of this discussion to say that I was being too hostile for him to reply. I therefore assume he is trolling and I will not continue this thread on a public forum with him.
Shame, as judging from the last post of his I clearly rattled him. Ah well, c'est la vie! If anyone wants more on my views on the more popular free software licenses, I have an outdated but still useful page at http://www.nedprod.com/programs/definition.html. Y'all be happy!
