Communism and the GPL http://www.bcgreen.com/comments/2005/communism.html People run around screaming "Communist" like it's a threat to democracy. It's really not. Among other things, Soviet Russia suffered under Stalinism, not communism. True communism is really not much different than Capitalism, except for the fact that the profits are more evenly distributed to the workers, and management gets minimum perks from their position (at least in theory). ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
GPL is undeniably communist. It is just that communism has become (wrongly) associated with central control, dictatorship and tyranny among other things.
