	Not a bash. It's a indisputable fact that there are wacko GPL advocates who
have no understanding of copyright law at all and just assume that it works
the naive way they think it should work. They say things as absurd as that
one work can be a derivative work of another even though the authors of that
work never saw any of the work it's supposed to be derivative of.

	There are wackos on the other side too, of course.
