In case you didn't know, you can't use code in Linux unless it's GPL, otherwise you would violate the GPL. It's not an issue of like and dislike.

This is exactly my point about moral hypocrisy. How is that free? The GPL isn't free. Once you incorporate even a tiny piece of GPL code into your project, it's tainted forever.

All I'm saying is let's call the GPL what it really is, just another restrictive license. Don't try and say the GPL is free and open, don't try to tell me the GPL is better than anything else because it isn't. It's only open as long as you follow very strict guidelines about what you can and can't do with it.
