OK, so why are you inventing new issues, rather than addressing the

software licensed under the Apache Software Licence 2.0 and software
licensed under the GNU GPL 2.0. This sounds to me like he's
Are you really disputing the fact that one can combine non-free
work with a GPLed program?
Yes.
Then you really ought to read the GPL. Specially the clauses about
not being able to put restrictions on a user, i.e. making the software
non-free.

Cite me a provision
A system incorporating a GPL-covered program is an

extended version of the program must be released under
the GPL if it is released at all.
And it is not released. That's the key.

And if I let you run a program from a CD of mine, the CD then
becomes yours? Because CDs can be copied?
CDs are still physical like cars. Apples vs rocks.
You'll be hard put to run a program without a physical copy.

First of all, you can't steal
