Not only that, but I could have sworn that Casper's statement was
about those spreading anti-CDDL FUD, not about those who like GPL.

As for the latter, I happen to like (and use) GPLv2.  I think it's a
useful license and (apparently unlike others posting here) I don't
feel that its political implications are necessarily a bad thing.

I just don't let that color my view of other licenses.  It doesn't
seem necessary to grasp at one, and declare all others to be
worthless, which is essentially what the FSF's position statements
have done.  It's a silly, defensive, round-the-wagons approach.
