Not so. These people recognize the dangers of the GPL. The fact that
YOU personally would like to turn a blind eye to these dangers does
not make the threat any less real. If you want to drop out of the
thread so as to stick your head in the sand, so be it. The discussion
would be more productive if you did.

Dead wrong. That source code must also be GPLed.
