Yeah, I have to agree with gill on this one. I do see Stallman's views as largely obsolete and irrelevant but the GPL does have its merit. There are times you want to give some code away but don't want it used in a proprietary way. But Stallman's insistence on the GPL for everything is just wrong. There are times when I want to give code away and don't care if it's used for profit or not or whether someone will use it to derive some proprietary software from it. I use the Apache license 99% of the time. Open source but free to take it and exploit it for money if you want too. I don't mind.
