    I didn't really care until I read Drew Devault's take. Now I'm an (A)GPL zealot. Stallman can still get fucked though.

    Drew never gets too deep into the theory weeds but I appreciate his willingness to sprinkle anti-cap radlib stuff into his writing:

    If the people with their fingers on that button held these same ideals, we wouldn’t need the GPL. The reality, however, is that we live in a capitalist world. Our socialist free software utopia is ripe for exploitation by capitalists, and they’ll be rewarded for doing so. Capitalism is about enriching yourself - not enriching your users and certainly not enriching society.
