Indeed, and this was published in the Linux Journal in 2002. It is an old boring argument, it even includes the words "I'm not just trying to start a holy war here", echoing the famous cut and paste Slashdot troll. Georgecmu, who has over 6500 karma and who's been here quite a few years, knows exactly what he's doing: trolling (and I have flagged this submission as it's so obvious).
The Free Software Foundation is not half as dogmatic as people think either. They have released software under MIT, and have a huge list of licences they consider to be free. Pick the one that works for you.
