“It’s not a living thing. It’s attached by developers
when they choose to use it. Their own in-house developers do it (as
Cisco via Linksys and others have had to learn the hard way… now
perhaps Microsoft joined that Hall of Shame). After all, nobody is
forcing anyone to use GPL code in their solutions. Well, at least I
haven’t heard of anyone complaining of having RMS threating them
with using GPLed code in their solutions or…. So if you don’t
like the GPL, then don’t use code released under its terms. Stop
wining about how bad the GPL is, do your homework and write your
own code instead.”
