If a company goes into a software project with GPL source, they should
follow the licensing. I agree...it's the same if they use M$
software, or whatever. Follow the licensing.
What I do not agree with is the premise that the FOSS community would
die a fiery death if not for the GPL.
I guess we should tell all the guys who write code for
{Open,Free,Net,Dragonfly}BSD that they'd better pack up shop and
install Windows because the GPL is going away.
