Propaganda is, by definition, information sponsored by government. It's when people get brainwashed via taxpayer money. I'm not a government official, contractor, and not affiliated in any way.
I fail to see how can I do any harm to the programming community (and the world at large) just by explaining GPL/LGPL difference, or strong/weak copyleft difference.
Discussion is beneficial for all parties: now you know that static linking of LGPL library into solely distributed binary EXE file is impossible, now I agree that GPL can't expand itself from DLL to EXE if DLL is packaged and installed separately and makes sense on its own (used by other applications), now you know that GPL will expand itself from DLL to EXE if they are in single downloadable/installable package, and now I know that we should bundle our proprietary code in the next product with FreeBSD kernel, not Linux. How open, public discussion can do any harm to anyone?
Yes I'm not FSF/GNU/RMS/copyleft zealot, so what?
