Not that I care about anything GPL (rejected it long ago), but how is calling GPL'd code "viral" not appropriate when just placing uninfected code next to it, infects it? On another note: Isn't the goal of GPL to offer "crap code" with the intent-of/attempt-at getting good (valuable/saleable/researched/developd) code? A "something for nothing", "Gen Y", "entitlement" mindset? See: http://www.aspeneducation.com/article-entitlement.html
