I just realized that it was probably not wise to use proprietary
software in that example as people might get more upset about it.

In case anyone felt personally insulted: I apologize, this was not my
intention.

So please allow me to change that paragraph to

 Many people were complaining that it wasn't free because they
 couldn't take random parts of GPL'ed software and compile them into
 their Free Software without taking the GPL into account.

As legal proceedings are the same and this will hopefully increase my
chances of being understood correctly.

Regards,
Georg
