The logical conclusion of your argument is that the GPL is
pointless.
The logical conclusion of *my* argument is don't use GPL licensed code
and you won't be hauled into federal court by a band of wild-eyed
zealots who practice socialism in software licensing as a religion.
And, since the BSD license is toothless, why even bother? Just
license it the same way sqlite is licensed: public domain. That's
the conclusion which can be drawn from your argument.
The conclusion that can be drawn from *my* argument is that using
permissive licensed open source code such as BSD licensed programs
will prevent someone from being hauled into federal court by a band of
wild-eyed zealots who practice socialism in software licensing as a

If *you* wish to present *your* argument that open source code should
be released as public domain then present it as *your* argument since
is certainly not *my* argument.
Sincerely,
Rjack :)
