What's interesting is that Stallman asserts a GPL'd kernel wouldn't be
necessary to any "GNU operating system" ("Today, GNU runs with various
kernels . . . It is basically the same system, whichever kernel you use"),
and that at no point does he assert the moral or political necessity for a
copylefted mode of licensing, but merely lists provisions common to both the
GPL and BSDL ("users are free to run it, study it and change it . . .
redistribute it . . . and publish modified versions").
My apologies to the list for the shameless use of comic hyperbola.
I'm off to shoot myself.
