The GPL legally establishes a heterogenuos pool of software. To do this, it uses the framework of copyright law. While it can't change copyright law, its inventive use of it factually establishes a software ecosystem governed by different rules than that of software licensed as isolated pieces. "Defeating gravity by stacking bricks" would be a similar title. Only an utter moron would consider a title like that as a proposal for antigravity devices. > Yes, appears like a bunch of complete fucking morons suffering from > delusions of grandeur.
