The stated design purpose of the GPL is to destroy businesses that sell commercial software, as well as programmers' livelihoods. This is a spiteful, vindictive goal that professional programmers -- not to mention consumers who would like to have the choice of buying commercial software -- should not promote. See Richard Stallman's writings, in particular, "The GNU Manifesto" and "Why Software Should Not Have Owners," for more. --Brett Glass At 08:21 PM 4/24/99 -0800, Jay Doscher wrote: >This may be a dumb question, but what in the heck is wrong with GPL >software?
