The SaaS paradigm trivially defeats the intent of the GPL, doesn't it? The problem people have with capitalism isn't that it has failure modes; every economic ideology has those. The problem people have with capitalism is that, in a capitalist society, the failure modes of capitalism are the ones that are the problem, and it's very hard to see how the status quo could be repaired without having to be replaced. (Which I think is fair. Look at what it took to fix it last time, and how long that hasn't lasted...)
