I do understand your sentiments very well, but I don't agree with your
conclusion. If everyone would keep his work private, just to prevent
artifacts like FPS from building a 'distribution' of it, how far do you
think would FlightGear have developed over the past 10 years ?
FPS is a nuisance, indeed, but boycotting "The FlightGear Project" just
as a means to hurt FPS doesn't buy us anything, I'd say. If we really
aim at doing anything wrt. FPS, then we'd probably better care about
getting our desolate "PR department" into better shape ....

The GPL hasn't been _that_ unsuccessful, overall ;-)
