That claim works both ways. If I write a GPL library that you want to use, you could accuse me of wanting to control the library and not letting you use it however you want, but I could just as easily accuse you of wanting to control your resultant application by not wanting to release it under the GPL. If you GPLed your application, there's no licencing headaches.

- anonbanker 11y agosomeone's pretending that OpenBSD not only doesn't exist, but doesn't define most of those security protocols.
