I have seen a number of back handed comments towards the GNU public
license.  For individualistic (not particularly rational) reasons, I
prefer not to attach the GPL to any piece of free software I write.  What
is the complaint that others have with GPL? 

That being said, I still have the highest respect for Stallman and the 
Free Software Foundation.  FreeBSD could not exist were it not for gcc.  
I haven't checked, but I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't quite a bit 
of other GNU software on the FreeBSD cdrom.
