Bill: This is more a curiosity than anything else. GPLv3 makes no distinction between personal and non-personal use. Are you simply saying you are less bothered by a license violation when it comes under "personal use"? What license violation do you think is going on here? What IP do you think is being disrespected here?
I don't want to enter into a GPL vs BSD vs MIT debate here. Thats been done in detail elsewhere, and not my intent. Im far more interested in knowing what line you think is being approached here. Thanks. Robert. AD6I.
