So Richard talks explicitly about the _goal_ of the GPL, and he does this immediately before listing a number of projects that set out to create proprietary projects, and then were forced by their use of GPLed software to license them under the GPL.
Which is to keep GPL software free, in this case, it kept GCC free. And one way for MCC to comply was to license their changes under the GPL. Again, thank you for proving my point. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
