I am not being cynical, but the GPL is too overreaching. This is not just my opinion. I have visited dozens of free software websites and developer disfavor about the GPL is steadily increasing. It is just a matter of time before the tenuousness of this license ends up in a court. I think money will also force this issue into court, because inevitably, someone's confusion about the license will lead to the loss of a ton of money. When big cash is on the table, a court case is around the corner.-- Ken Brown, 2002-10-31
