Jon, it's for reasons like this that I don't continue discussions with Brett. If he could channel his ability into something positive, like the Daemon News article I suggested, it would be one thing. But it seems that his perception of the GPL is at the centre of his being, and nothing will shake it. It's a pity, because it devalues him as a serious discussion partner, but there's obviously not much we can do about it. How about just stopping this thread here and now?
