I don't think he's an actual fan of GPL. In the good old days, this sort of argument used to rage across the usenet, then largely couched in terms of BSD vs GPL license. It used to be great fun, with the all sorts of people asserting the right to use the word "free", and denying everone elses right to use it. My favorite answer is this entertainly offensive reply from a little known developer, with an unpronoucable name. https://groups.google.com/d/msg/gnu.misc.discuss/ZgAIXRJCQI8/hZJJ76s22oEJ I wonder what ever happened to him?
