The GPL is not the only open source license! Some allow for more freedom for
the users, for example.

You, Peter, have shown you are grossly ignorant of the GPL:

  Peter Köhlmann, responding to Sir Slimer:

    "Ideas" have nothing to do with GPL, you imbecile Snit

    -----
    But the ideas and logic of the GPL cannot be found in the Open
    Source Movement. They stem from the deeper goals and values of the
    Free Software Movement.

    The Free Software Movement was founded in 1984, but its
    inspiration comes from the ideals of 1776: freedom, community, and
    voluntary cooperation. This is what leads to free enterprise, to
    free speech, and to free software.
    -----
    
The "ideas and logic" of the GPL are tied to Stallman's views (as twisted as
they can be) of "freedom, community, and voluntary cooperation." The GPL is
about allowing others to use the ideas found in your IP. To claim ideas have
nothing to do with the GPL shows you do not understand how and why it was
developed.
