It's very unfortunate you'd think this way. I too find the GPL restricts some freedom, but understand the need for it and advocate its use over permissive licenses. And I'm an anarchist, but I don't think I should be allowed to kill. I don't know what kind of anarchists you met, but no one I know thinks they should be allowed to kill. Back to the point, I agree that the battle is uphill when trying to convince someone who's alredy made up his mind about software freedom. But it's not a lost battle, and if you don't fight back on public forums, you give the impression they are right. You aren't really trying to convince them, but showing other readers that there's another way. I hope I'm making sense. klez
