I would not say taht I was convinced about the GPL. What I said
was that it is better for the community. Maybe I should have
added; "in the near term". I still think in the long term, GPL
creates a non-sustainable model economically. Richard Stallman
lived/lives in an artifical environment, literally. Below is a
link to an examination and some discussions. It doesn't have the
'legal' analysis that Ron proposes but it is enlightening.
