I enjoyed reading Mr. Stallman's proposal. I support it and I would like the abilities he mentions, to turn off and replace javascript, to be included in Firefox. Most of what you say is well-hashed anti-GPL stuff. A few web searches should provide you with all of those arguments, much more carefully written, and save you a good deal of ranting time. Personally, I don't think there is any good reason to believe that the copyright system promotes the economy or general society, or "the Useful Arts and Sciences" as it is required to do by the US Constitution. Your examples of iPhone and Facebook applications and writing a database are not very convincing. Why should programmers everywhere be constrained from copying something in order to subsidize the creation of iFart ? Giant multi-national corporations use GPLd versions of Oracle competitors, even through MySQL and Postgres and SQLite are licensed in exactly the way you object to, and somehow the free market system still figured out how to pay programmers to work on those projects.
