I have a Google alert set to "GPL". It is very obvious from my mailbox that the SFLC is succeeding in educating the business world to avoid GPL'd "Free Software". The legal harassment of businesses with frivolous lawsuits by the SFLC is convincing entrepreneurs to utilize open source code licensed under truly free Apache, MIT, BSD and similar non-restrictive licenses. Erik Raymond once predicted the GPL would collapse under its own philosophical baggage. The SFLC is accelerating that collapse.
The recent lawsuit by the SFLC is unquestionably an attempt to raise the profile of the SFLC's fundraising in this time of severe recession. The SFLC's incompetent staff suck handsome salaries out of the public donations to "defense of Free Software" by the SFLC. With donations on the wane, the choir must be motivated to give more -- else the SFLC staff will be forced into gainful employment somewhere else. Have *you* given generously to the SFLC lately Hyman and DAK? It's your solemn duty to do so. Eben is calling. Alms for the poor!
