Just wanted to point out that the GPL isn't really about 'good'/'bad' morality choices, in fact one of the pillars of copyleft is that it does not make such subjective choices.
If that wasn't the case, companies like IBM wouldn't be able to use GPL'd software, as they famously weren't able with Crockford's "don't do evil" license.
The GPL is really about guarantees.
You rely on guarantees every day to be able to go about your day. People like me just wish to extend certain guarantees, (not warranty), to the software we write.
