Uh no. Christianity promotes sharing, and even in the Bible the early
Christians owned things in common. Communism just borrowed the idea. So if
you say the GPL is Communist because it encourages common ownership, then
by the same logic is it actually Christian.
Sharing and common owenership was practiced by Christian communities long
before Communism was thought up.
