I can't believe how many people misunderstand the cancer quote. What he was quite correctly saying that if your code touches GPL, your code becomes GPL, too. Just like if your healthy organ accepts a metastasis it becomes cancer, too. It's just a statement of fact. Cancer is of course a emotionally loaded term, but it's also a physical process. When you make cells immortal they also become cancerous. So immortality=cancer => GPL = immortality
