The “viral” nature of a GPL license means only that if you pass on TO SOMEONE OUTSIDE OF YOUR OWN PERSONAL OR BUSINESS ENTITY something of your own bundled with something you got by GPL, you have to license the whole shebang to that someone under GPL. The GPL license is very clear and it (apologies to Obama) has been twittered and blogged and stuff all over the place if you cannot read plain English. Nobody is getting suckered by Stallman’s GPLs.

The GPL twittered and blogged all over the place??? Good Lord its a zillion machine-years older than tweets and blogs. And you're right -- nobody gets suckered by it -- anymore -- because nobody whose programs are actually used licenses under GNU GPL. Everybody who wants their code actually incorporated in some non-trivial work ditched Stallman's version long ago -- long before there were "tweets."

Tweets.

Save me.

People whose memories go back to the day before yesterday are lecturing me about this despicable Commie's "license agreement."
